I know this has been beat to death, but I just want to get an idea of where I am sitting for hunting pack weight, and total pack weight (right now without food, but I am counting 2 full liters of water).
Are you guys counting the clothes you wear in and the pack itself? Currently I am, but I am thinking I will drop those weights because I personally don't consider that "pack" weight.
I don't have everything weighed yet, but for hunting pack weight...(The pack is a Kifaru reckoning, 26" frame, 2 small pockets, 1 medium pocket, water bottle holder and guide lid. Just getting the weight off of their site)
with counting the pack: 27-30 lbs (is my guess once i get a few more items weighed). Calc'd right now to 24.92 lbs.
without counting the pack: 19-22 lbs. (once everything is weighed). Calc'd right now to 17.36 pounds
So total carry-in weight
with counting the pack:
my guess is going to be between 55-60 lbs. Right now I have it calc'd to 42 lbs, but I haven't weighed my shelter, most of my extra clothes, camera, and toiletries.
without counting the pack: I get 34.44 lbs calc'd.....so to be guessing on the heavy side.....47 lbs or so once i weigh the rest of the gear.
Now count another 1.5lbs of food for 7 days gets me 10.5 extra lbs. So I can be anywhere from 57 lbs and up; without counting the pack itself.
Sound heavy, or about right? I know I am not on the light side, and I will never be that guy.
Thanks for the replies
