Hi Daisy

I don't count the clothing I wear in the base weight...but I do wear pretty light stuff. That's possible in the summer in the Sierra.

And you are right about the old days. 1968, a five day trip, and we were carrying about 45 pounds each.

Now my wife and I could do that same trip with 45 pounds between the two of us!
