Hello,
I know 47 is a lot, but I was thinking- what could I take out.
Remember that it was almost October; there could be snow, low temp, etc... (Actually first snow came 2 days after our trip) , and since we are first timers, we didn't want take our chances and go unprepared.
Anyway, here is what I took (lb):
6 Backpack
4 Tent
2 Termarest
3 Sleeping bag
3 Bear Canister
6 Water
1 Filter
4 Food (Mount .House, Bars, nuts, jerky, +(whiskey-just a little bit :)))
4 Cloths (Fleece, windbreaker, hat, gloves, extra
pants, socks, t-shirts, underwear, etc..)
3-4 Rest of stuff (propane, headlight, first kit, cup, silverware, and other little things I don't remember now)

36-37 Total

I do not know where is that extra 10lb, I do not think cloths weights more then I wrote.
What would you guys cut out for the next time?
Mike
