Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

[mtwarden]

That would be my trecking poles I have in that category. No shelter. Not the lightest day pack but comfortable for me.

@Tick sleep system 1.3 lbs? Seems a wee bit, that’s basically a 20-30 degree bag- no shelter? no pad?

Ahh- day pack; got it—was thinking backpacking and was wondering how a guy comes up with a little over a pound for sleep and shelter

pretty much same for my elk list Sep. archery CO, 9-11.6k, depending on lows/highs I may go lighter and wear my tiburon instead of attacks, but when I shared the lighterpack link it was attacks.
I'm not sure if those links will change after I've shared them, if I go back and make changes.


There's a big swing in kill kit weights too, I'm at about 16oz for elk, but I'm down to 8oz for otc barbary.
I've considered running a lighter kit for elk and leaving half the bags at the truck. Take off enough for the first load, drop the guts and head for the truck to get the rest of the kit. But haven't done yet and I usually end up with a few garbage bags included so I can keep my plack clean. I've seen way heavier kits posted though. I carry outdoor edge 3.5 and only back up is my pocket knife. I'm trying a little folding scalpel blade knife in my sheep kit, but it will be a miracle if I need it.

I think the list does update as long as you don’t start a new list
