We don't take a phone, SPOT, GPS or gun. So we are WAY ahead of you just on those factors along.

But we do eat a full menu every day.

let's see...gun or eating?


Ahead or stupid depending on how you look at it. But I won't judge you on what you find important and expect the same. And I'm never hungry and have the gun.


No need for the stupidity comment, I was talking about weight in the pack, which was your original question. And by leaving those heavy items behind, we're ahead of you on weight.
