[QUOTE="HellsCanyon, post: 717687, member: 50929"] This was one of my heavier packs this year as it was the 3rd week in October, and we were at 8k' with snow predicted... Only a 3 day trip but including my rifle, optics, and water, my pack weighed in at 52 lbs. As you can see, I still had a LOT of room left in that T1... As far as my gear goes, I think I could shave off another 1-1.5 lbs by updating my sleeping/shelter system, and next year I'll have a < 9 lb rifle so there's another 3 lbs saved. Might be able to shave off another 1/2-1.5 lb by updating clothing, and going to a better/lighter water filter (another 6-8 oz saved). So with all of that in mind, IF I were to upgrade all those items, I'd be in the $4k range including rifle pretty easy. And all that for only around 6 lbs of saved weight. Pretty rediculous huh? :) [IMG]http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg602/HellsCanyonArmory/IMG_0566.jpg[/IMG] Mike [/QUOTE]
