An iPod shuffle and outdoor speaker for 1 ounce? Do you have a link to the speaker? How long is the battery life on both?


I left the camera off the list because I carry it in my pocket.......I guess I considered it like my boots or sunglasses. It's on me and not in my pack, so I left it off. But it's weight, no doubt about it.

As for the speaker, it is this one: http://www.gpx.com/store/p/315-SA118S.aspx I bought at Wal Mart last spring. I just brought it out of the drawer and I would guess it weighs about 1.5-2 ounces with the batteries in it (2 AAA batts). But the iPod I have probably would not even register on an ounce scale. I wish I had an ounce scale to weigh small items. I might try a cheap mail letter scale.

And the iPod shuffle I have is the older, smaller, current model like this one: http://www.dirjournal.com/computers-journal/apple%E2%80%99s-new-ipod-shuffle/
