- I sent my ZPacks Hexamid Twin Tarp to have the bugscreen sewn into it. There still isn't a floor, you put your painter's drop cloth (barely thicker than saran wrap) over the bugscreen. The weight only went up to 11.75 oz from 6.15 oz.
- Rainwear O2 Hooded Rain Jacket replaces my Mountain Designs Rain Jacket, reducing the weight from 9.7 oz to 6.7 oz.
- Rainwear O2 Rain Pants to replace my WW Sportsman polyster zip off pants, reducing the weight from 8.1 oz to 4.75 oz.
- I wanted to replace the Gossamer Gear Nightlight Sleeping Pad for a inflated Thermarest but I haven't bit the bullet, keeping my 3.65 oz option rather than 8 oz. I'll have to find a softer place to sleep. Otherwise, I'm just lying there praying for the sun to come up.
- I'm switching to Delorme's InReach personal locator beacon from my Spot, increasing my weight from 5 oz to 8.3 oz but I REALLY like the idea of knowing if people got my messages. Last year, about a third of my 'check in' messages never made with the Spot. It would also stop sending my waypoints as well.
So here is my new Gear List:
- 6.12 pounds of gear without the following: consumables (food, water, and fuel), clothes I mostly carry in my bags, glasses, trekking poles, and ID.
- 14.26 pounds of gear if I include everything I carry.
- 18.69 with everything I wear and carry.
