    Your list looks ok Adam, I wonder if you have enough spare food. They taste like shit but I’d add two more back country meals. Nothing worse than going hungry. They’re not heavy.

    Prior to my last trip away with @Ryan_Songhurst I decided to go ahead and record the weight of everything I was putting in my pack. With the weather in Christchurch at the moment being less than desirable, I sat inside today and went through my gear again. I found an app/website online which allows you to create easy gear lists and play around with categorising each item.

    I've quickly thrown in what I would normally take on a summer/spring/autumn trip onto the tops. Gave me a bit of a surprise really to find out just how much gear I am carrying.

    The little T-Shirt symbol beside some of the items indicates that it is being worn on my person and not stored in my pack.

    Only thing that needs to be added to this list is food. For me this changes a fair bit depending on the type of trip I'm heading out on but most times I'd be around 800grams - 1kg of food per day.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with them. They're aerodynamic and the breathability is through the roof.

    Makes for interesting reading, especially when your boots make up for 10% of your total gear weight.

    Lots of good information on this thread. I also have a list that is printed and pinned to the board in the shed, one for long trips, one for day hunts. Do you think I ever manage to leave without forgetting something? In fact leaving the house in one go is so rare I am actually waiting, as I drive away, to remember what it is that I’ve forgotten. Being rural it’s quite tedious going up and down the driveway cos I’ve forgotten something, sometimes three times. Bloody hopeless.

    Yeah I noticed that also. Makes it a fair bit easier to recognise the areas you can start looking at to shave weight.

    For me, its pack and sleeping bag. Changing my pack to a lighter weight one and swapping my sleeping bag out for a quilt will get my pack weight down to 8.7kg.

    Love my kuiu gators. Most comfy ones i have used. They are the Toray fabric they use for the Yukon raincoat so lightweightish. After 5 years they are pretty smashed. Definitely replacing with the same though
