My own runs about 18 lbs, based on a Z-55. Light is good, ultralight is just stupid. That's my motto and I'm stickin' to it. Anyway, I'll definitely drop by here from time to time. Didn't even know you were out there. Keep up the good work. HYOH. jt Nice list, makes sense to me. My own runs about 18 lbs, based on a Z-55. Light is good, ultralight is just stupid.

I personally would get rid of or change: Nail clippers-clip them before you go Scissors-you aleady have a pocket knife Floss-a few days without flossing wont kill you, unless its intended to be a repair item Digital camera-you have a nice camera on your iphone, no need to bring another Band Aids-dont get rid of all of them, but you have some in your first aid kit and in your personal items Gloves-use socks instead Bandana-find a lighter bandana, 2 oz sounds heavy Thats a start anyways.

They run about 100 bucks. You could take almost 1.5 lbs off your pack by getting a golite pinnacle. They run about 100 bucks.
