I've been playing around with lighterpack and getting a complete gear list together. It's strange because when weighing each individual piece it comes up with 17.33 pounds but when putting the full pack in a bathroom scale I get 16 pounds even. One of my scales is obviously off...just need to figure out which one! Haha. Anyways, those weights are everything minus food and water, I realize I have a long road ahead of me lightening things up and a couple of the items in there are absurdly heavy for what they are but I am a beginner backpacker so for a first time list I don't think I've done too bad. First overnighter will be next weekend at North Sylamour Creek up around Blanchard Springs Arkansas so wish me luck! I've added my list from lighterpack, can anyone put an eye on it and help suggest changes for things I've either forgotten or the best bang for the buck ways to get lighter?
