Hey guys, im sort of new to Backpacking. Im 21 and have been out probably 3 times and plan on spending at least a month out this summer. All of this ultralight talk has got me wondering tho...Im taking a few friends out on a little stretch of the PCT for like 3 days, and im thinking about whats in my pack. I have a tent, sleeping bag, one pair of shorts, 2 shorts, burners and extra propane, freeze dried foor for 2 nights and 3 guys, and a knife. Would you guys look at this load and say ultralight? Im trying to get a zero in on where i stand in the backpacking world.

I hike in boots and have a Gregory Baltoro 70, which i often do not fill up all the way when i go out for weekend trips. I have little gadgets, like knife and headlamp and a battery phone charger (just incase).

What could i do better to shed weight from that, if i do in fact have extra stuff?
