[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1449261, member: 105926"] I’m right around 45 lbs with all my gear and food/water for a week, which is lighter than most. I cut anything that isn’t necessary (if you carry 3 times and don’t use it, get rid of it), and buy gear that has great performance for the weight. Food is the heaviest overall thing in your pack and most people carry way to much IMO. I won’t even consider a food item unless it gives me 100 cal per oz (except protein) with most coming in much greater. I consume about 3000 cal a day in the backcountry and that food will weigh 1.5-1.6 pounds per day. There are some great resources online with pack list that are very light if you want to get an idea of that. Steve Speck has his pack list on Exo Mountain Gear and Pure elevations sites and it’s a example of a light pack with little to no redundancies. [/QUOTE]
