Backpacking MY FOUR DAY SET-UP.wmv






Showing what I take in my lightweight set up which is almost, but not quite, an ultralight backpacking system. Base weight is eleven lbs. Packed and ready to hike, with food and water, is about twenty-four lbs.. I've dropped a pound over last years gear but it still isn't an ultralight set up, strickly speaking. I didn't show my water filter as it died on my last outing. I have to save for a new one. Some may think I take an excessive amount of water but I live in desert country. Even the mountains, nearby, have little water in them.
