Here is my latest iteration on reducing pack weight for a 4 day trip. I'm down from 43 pounds to 22.6. Looking at it now, I don't know what the other 20 pounds was.

I was going to list names of people thanking each one individually, but so much was suggested by so many, I'm afraid I'd miss some.

When I came to the forum, I thought I had some experience. I did, but not on going light.

I will get a sleeping pad soon. I just have to find one.

Here it is for critique. For cooler weather, I'll add a fleece and a different bag which will add a couple pounds or so.

This weekend, I'll be taking a test run with the gear. It will be car camping as we are taking someone who has never camped before.

All weights were measured on a postal scale.
