Just Added up all my gear and weighs in at 16 lbs with water
Michael,
Nice! I just had to go in and do a little update on my list from some recent tweaks. I’m also in the process of making a custom summer sleeping bag. Let you know when that is finished and ready to try on our next trip.
Still gotta add some other lists on this page like a winter pack list etc too.
