Bear Can: Bear Boxer mini (much smaller than Garcia)
Note: no cooking devices, pots, pans, stove, etc -- all food is cold served (I have an unusually slow metabolism, so I require much less food than most -- only eat about 1,200 calories a day and STILL have to watch weight gain)
Note: 1/2 ltr water carried -- all other taken from planned/confirmed sources.
Note: Use Osprey Talon 44 -- very light.
I am not an ultra-light practitioner, rather, I just like to be efficient.
At 25 lbs. I know you are not ultralight.
I do take a pot, something 2 (titanium) because I like a hot meal, coffee and cocoa.
I could not be bothered stopping for water at known sources, I'd rather keep moving, so I haul up a couple of liters. However, I take 4 L up from Trail Camp...the body requires hydration and I have tendency to have problems with AMS, if not hydrated properly...even when taking Diamox, another annual set of questions asked.
Our base pack weight is not that much different. I carry more food and water and less BRC.
