“Ditch the pack cover and dry bags. Use a trash compactor bag as a pack liner, save ~7-8oz Use a groundsheet made from Tyvek, save ~5.5oz Swap the pocket rocket for a BRS-3000 stove, save 3oz What is your shelter? Are you just cowboy camping and hoping the weather is good? Nix the binos and harness, swap for a monocular with a retention clip or strap. Vortex makes some nice options. Save ~25-30oz Do you really need a bipod? Use your pack or natural materials instead. Save 6.38oz Total savings: 47oz-53oz (~3lbs)”
“Don't take the Jetboil get the Pocket Rocket or BRS Don't take the Frog Toggs Pants, rain pants are unnecessary and they're awful, dance pants if you need pants for warm / wind breaking You won't have to run at all if that's your desired timeline fyi”
