This picture is to show my 1.5 ounce Cuben Pack. The picture was taken on my Sub 2 pound hike on the AT.
Springer Mountain - Oct 2006 - Temperature was 37 degrees F. It stayed cool with a good breeze all day but did warm up to about the mid 40's. Perfect weather for a hike.

Note: This is my first attempt at folding these items so I can wear them. I have several ideas that should make them look a bit better. It is about 80 F and sunny here today. I am going to take a walk sometime this afternoon and see if I get to hot. If I am to hot I might have to try "commando" and see if that is any cooler.

===============================
TOTAL WEIGHT in PACK

TOTAL WEIGHT WORN or CARRIED:
TOTAL SKIN-OUT WEIGHT - Less Consumables (Food, Fuel, and Water, etc)

6 - CONSUMABLES (Medicine, Food, Fuel, Water, etc) (We Decide - A small group of Emergency items might also go here but with a low Max weight limit. What are your thoughts??? )

My Food:




My dry food is packed in coffee filters and then the empty coffee filter is used as TP. Each serving of dry food is equal to 282.5 calories. I mix this with about 8 ounces of water and drink it. I have two servings in the morning before hiking and then every 90 minutes while I am hiking I have one serving. At the end of the hiking day I have two servings. Each serving weighs about 2.32 ounces and gives me a total balance of all the nutritional stuff I need.
