    2020 Sheep Pack Weight

    Hey gents, been compiling this list based upon what I required the last couple years in the mountains. I haven't died yet, so I continue adding and subtracting things that don't seem to have a Very important purpose, or multiple uses. I researched on here and Rokslide a fair bit, and upgraded and changed accordingly.

    Here's what I came up with https://lighterpack.com/r/48260f

    It's a link to a gear list website that I built it on, free to use if you'd like to do the same.

    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

    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

    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.
