[pct-l] finalized total pack weight (hopefully)

[John Abela]

Well I think I finally got my total pack weight all figured out tonight.

Looking like 7.8 pounds for the Base Pack Weight.

Add in an additional:

65.8 oz for two liters of water
51.6 oz for 3 days of food+snacks

which puts me at a 15.22 pounds for a Total Pack Weight - for most areas.

And obviously another 32.9 oz for additional liters of water as needed.

Add another 65.4 oz for gear/clothing and my total Skin Out Weight
looks to be 19.31 pounds.


When I have to go 15 days plus use the bear canister... add 28.9 oz
for the bear canister and around 255 oz for food... which would put me
at 29.67 Total Pack Weight and 33.77 Skin Out Weight. (probably a bit
more than this for additional food, just to be realistic)

unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization
drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware. ~ John Muir
