Wanted to see if there is anything I can add/ Subtract/ Change out. Object is to go lighter. Not really interested in buying cuben fiber to save 6 oz. My base is just under 7 lbs. I am going to do a 2 night trip this weekend and just use reflectix as a ground pad. That will drop 10 oz off my pack weight. I know it gets a little ridiculous when you start getting into low ultralight weights. A 5lb pack or a 7 pound pack isnt going to feel much different. On a 3 day trip I wear the same clothes. Im in Texas. Coldest it gets is 25 degrees maybe twice during the winter. More average is in the 30's and 40s. On my Exos pack i can remove the brain and it has another cover which will save 4 oz. The reason for all this is I am toying with the Idea of a Haydukes trail thru hike. Its about 800 miles Temps will be in the 30's
