That's surprising, considering your pack does not contain a single edible item. lol

hahaha right you are buddy. This is all pre-food and water weight. I’m usually between 1.9 - 2.1 lbs a day for food. Add that on top of the base weight for the trip
Re: 2020 Sheep Pack Weight
With the food and water that’s going to be pretty heavy. My pack for 10 days last year was 57 with 1 water bottle full. 57lbs was pack and rifle and ammo, bino on the front were not in the weight
Re: 2020 Sheep Pack Weight
Did you have 1lbs of salt on the list?
Re: 2020 Sheep Pack Weight
Is this including your food? There's a couple areas I could save weight, but I'm not certain I'd be willing to compromise.. I carried the majority of this in last year and put on a fair bit of km. Just depends on duration of trip, I'll have my jet boat tied up on the river so if I'm planning to return I'll leave some food bags there. Salt will be in the boat as well.
1. Lighter rain gear
2. No night time comfy shoes / creek crossers (crocs)
3. Lighter cookset instead of the reactor
4. No puffy pants... I love those things too much to leave ever again.
5. No sil tarp (sheep tarp on the list)
6. no pee bottle
7. Leave the battery, cordsm in the boat
8. not carry an 8lb rifle.. But she shoots great!

Save some weight by taking one larger fuel canister.
