My Gear -
REI Lite Core sleeping pad - 18 oz
REI sub kilo sleeping bag - 39 oz
REI New Star - ~6 lbs?
REI Pack cover - 6 oz
Asolo Fugitive Hiking boots ~ 50-60 oz? (love these boots)
Tikka XP headlamp - 3.5 oz
REI Elements rain jacket - 13oz?

My group gear
Sierra Designs Lightning Tent (2 person) - 69 oz
Katadyn Hiker water filter - 11 oz
MSR Blacklite Cookware - 18 oz
MSR Whisperlite stove - 13 oz
MSR Fuel bottle (33 ounces) - 7.5 oz
Fuel ~ 20 oz


So that's 11 lbs on my back with just my stuff, not even including clothes and other trinkets knife, compass, book, camera.

9 lbs of group gear that's split two ways. So another 4.5 lbs.

That's only got me at 15 lbs. Two full water bottles is another 4 lbs. Bringing the total to 19.

I forgot about my first aid kit, I've got a pretty hefty one. I'm guessing my pack is close to 30 lbs before I load on food.

So clothes are definitely one area I could improve on. Especially since I bring sandals to lounge around in due to not wanting to wear my heavy boots all the time.

Anyways, I realize this post doesn't serve a whole lot of purpose, I just kind of wanted to do a quick inventory of my gear. Thanks for the insight into your ultra light hiking.
