    They sell some cheap valves to transfer gas between canisters

    What's your pee bottle? A wide mouth Powerade bottle is 1.67oz, easy couple ounces there.

    Please tell me there’s an inside joke I’m missing here.

    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.

    Thats not exactly your packed weight though, thats your walking weight. Unless of course you are carrying a spare pair of boots in your pack...

    Tracking Skin-out weight is important, IMO. If your legs are having to move it up a hill, there's minimal difference if it is on your chest, ass or backpack. Weight on you feet and legs make a difference vs. Your backpack.

    My skin-out weight is 68-70 pounds, including everything I wear, bino harness, 10 days of food, optics, rifle and 3L of water.

    But my backpack is only 24 pounds, so roughly 1/3 the total weight.

    I Like the pie chart and list , food you can def save some weight. I take peanut butter packs , MCT oil , anything high calories to weight ratio. I can get 2500 cals down to 1.2 lbs a day. Also your boot weight is for 1 boot , unless you did some modifications to them yourself haha.
