Carry the high proof stuff so you can use it to aid in fire making if needed.

   I've done that. Works good.

[AKBowman]

I can't go without a stove.  A cup of warm coffee goes along way with me.

My stove weighs 6 ozs and I carry another 8-10 ozs of fuel so 14-18 ozs total I always bring the stove.

whoa, how many cubes is your pack?!!  and how many loads it take you to get all that in?

[Miles]

I was thinking the same thing.


He could be using the flextrek....

jesus! hahaha, where did you find that?!

[jechicdr]

Everything except an extra change of baselayers and a weeks worth of food can be packed in my Badlands 4500, the rest fits in the Badlands 2800.  Packed it in 5 miles...all up hill last year.  Looking at possibly a mile pack in off the road this year.

[jackelope]

so you carry 2 packs?

[Alpine Mojo]

You would need to with all that stuff.

[jechicdr]

so you carry 2 packs?

Carry the first pack in.  If I'm lucky and kill something, then I don't have to pack the second.  If I get through half the season, then I go out, get a nice 2000 calorie hot meal and bring the second pack in with the new provisions.

That video is hilarious. Thanks...

How do you get everything out after you have both packs in?  Still in one trip?

[jechicdr]

Out is almost all downhill, and all the food is eaten.

[JackOfAllTrades]

Here's what's in my pack. Gives me four days. A trip out to the truck replentishes food. I actually still need to weigh a few items but this should still be under 35 pounds.
