Wouldn't want to take 20kg plus into the hills if I could help it. So keen to know:-)

20 kg was the end weight, didnt start that way. On trip out had 2 x boned out back legs, 1 x none boned yearling fallow leg. 3 x back steaks. Cooker for lunch, 2 liters of water, macpac puffer, swazi anorak, AU sweater, knife, headlamp, bag of lollies, wet wipes, mini tree saw. I would stop the puffer and swazi anorak but took them due to the forecast and the possibility that we could be sitting around alot. So didnt start with the meet and that would have been 2/3 of the weight
