How heavy are your packs and for how many days do you go out?

[QUOTE="Wyodog, post: 1452022, member: 51310"] My pack for 5 days comes in at about 45 lbs if I take mostly freeze dried food. I could do a little better because I always seem to have an extra butane bottle. Their are times when I minimized the freeze dried food though. I don't like to drop 2000 feet to get water supply and freeze dried food requires a lot of water. I will usually pack some water up the hill before opening day but i can't seem to carry 5 days worth of water with all my gear if I have to rehydrate all my food. In that situation my pack starts out hevier but is lighter on vertical climb to elevation because i have to fill water containers be for I leave the creek. The extra gallons of water is brutal. I can also make it 1 small butane bottle when i have food that doesnt require boiling water.that system seams to work for me. If there is a spring on the mountain I'll take more freeze dried food.
