Starting to see some pack weight threads already this year, so I'll bump this up. I wrote this article in 2018 and think it is every bit as appropriate now as it was then. Different ways to think about weight, where to look to cut, etc. I hope it helps.
How To Cut Your Backpack Hunting Weight
How to logically cut your backpack hunting weight, looking at the time gear is worn, the percentage of total weight for each item, and the cost to cut each ounce.seekoutside.com
We've been talking about trying to put together a Backpack Hunting Gear article to go along with this. Basically go through everything packed for an early season, mid, or late season backpack hunt by 2 or 3 different people in different conditions. Haven't undertaken that yet as it'll be a chunk of work but I'd like to hear if anyone has comments on the idea.
Gear is about $100 an ounce so that’s a good deal!I was out on a run the other day thinking about this - I was feeling the extra Covid weight and had to check a hunch.
It turns out that liposuction is on average less than 10 dollars per oz. So next time you're considering spending big bucks on that fancy new gear you could just get that spare tire cut off instead.
To me it really put into context what it would be worth to work with a nutritionist or similar. We all understand that to get really good results in anything you usually have to pay for it. For whatever reason I never considered that paying someone to help me eat better would actually be more cost effective than buying new gear.Eat less. Actually have more money and lose weight!
