Gear list below is for use in yellowstone, tetons, western north carolina in the winter months.
My pack, shelter, stove and sleeping bag can't be changed.
All the gear, no food fuel or water, including clothes I'm wearing is 21.75lbs.
Without including clothes I'm wearing, around 19lbs of gear.
Any glaring areas where I can reduce weight?
Or any omissions I should include?
I'm finding it hard to reduce weight with the above constraints.
Thank you for the help.
