You bring a stove?

Just kidding. Where you set your limit is your choice.

My son and I usually carry a total of 42 - 44 pounds for a weekend including food and water. Last time out, we took a second stove (Trangia) and alcohol to test it so there were an extra couple pounds. We also started with more food and ate after about half an hour.

I think lightweight backpacking is a matter of taste. I don't mind carrying more if it's only a few miles. If we are stretching the distance, I take less.

You forgot your toilet paper. Don't forget to take out the cardboard. One square should be enough to clean your fingernails a few times.
