    There is no point in going at the lite weight setup half arsed.

    Spend $200 to save 1kg on a 60l pack for eg, and you have just added 2kg of gear with the extra room over a smaller heavier 50l

    3kg for Shelter, Sleepingbag, sleeping mat, cooker, gas... thats where you'll gain the most IMO. Its not that hard or expensive.
    You dont need 5 changes of clothes.
    I did 3 weeks in the Arctic in Alaska of which 2 were rain and snow on 17kg of gear + tent, gas and food.. comfortably.. I think I can drop some more gear out now also.

    dLong gone are the days of 33kg pack with a rifle on 1 side and shotgun on the other and someone helping me into it. Mint you.. i dont carry 250s of shotgun ammo and 2 dozen beers now either LOL

    A small pack MAKES you carry less gear
