[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1448503, member: 77441"] That's a decent weight to start. Much of your comfort or lack thereof will be based off of your physical conditioning. Couple of tips: 1) If going with anyone, compare your gear lists. Remove multiple redundancies on the list. 2) Weigh everything you have, put it in a spreadsheet. If you decide you want to go lighter with your equipment, put the cost to go lighter for a specific item. Attack items with the best $ to weight ratio. Example. You currently have a 9# sleeping bag(which I hope you don't). For $300 you can buy a 3# sleeping bag to meet your needs. You are spending $50 per pound. Spend money at highest weight savings first to reduce pack weight. [/QUOTE]
