Who cares as long as you have what ya need? I dont, 20lbs, 50lbs its all good. :chuckle: What your pack weighs hiking out is the important stuff!
Starts to add up when you are packing it quite a ways :) When we do our rifle camp its not a concern, sometimes I feel like I need an extra truck he he.

Im @ 27lbs for my day pack! :yike: 3 liters of water,lunch,game bags,medical kit,survival stuff,knife set,extra batteries for everthing,calls,and an energy drink when i get too tired to walk out. :chuckle: I still think i forgot something! :tup:
You should try 1 liter of water and a water filter. I drink a lot of water but 3 liters puts me to shame. I hiked in the snow 5+ miles to 9500' on mt adams with a 2 day pack and didnt consume 3L of water.
I'll be about 40lbs for 4 days with the rifle included.

If I am hunting for a week though I keep my weight around 50# and that is a tent and spotting scope, and game bags.

:yeah:between 15 and 25 pounds depending on the weather an weapon... then 13 ounces of food a day
I'm almost double you in food.
:yike:
I'm almost 2.5 times that.
If you say 120 calories per ounce which is a little on the high side, you are only getting 1560 Calories/day. :yike:
I'm 6'4" and 240 lbs. when hunting in the mountains I do not want to lose much weight at all. I usually bring in 32 oz food/day which puts me right around 3840 calories/day and I still lose around one lb/day in the backcountry. Which is about 3500 calories/day deficit. I'm not willing to lose anymore than that.

Including my bow I'm at 45 lbs for 5 days. Does anyone else think that Cam Hanes Toasted Bagels with fried Bacon, honey and Peanut Butter is anything less than spectacular?
