Above is what I have been packing into my bag which is at the top right of the picture. This includes food which I have too much of for only 3 days, but for my first trip I am unsure how much of anything I will need.
I just picked the pack up 5 minutes ago with everything and got a huge shock at how heavy it is. I tried to put it on the scales (bit big for bathroom scales) and it comes out at roughly 30Ibs including food and water. I thought I was going lightweight, but I'm certainly not. I'm not looking forward to carrying this lot up the hill now and can see why the trip may take me 3 days. Maybe I should take that book out it will save me a couple of hundred grammes or get rid of some of the food and it will save me a few hundred more!
I think after this trip I will be cutting a lot of things out, but for the first trip I would rather be safe rather than sorry. Although carrying this lot I'm more likely to have an accident!!
