Weighing a ton was a figure of speech of course (leave it to ironraven to find the chink in my choice of words )

I vary the contents to the situation but the last time I packed it with a full load (minus food and water) it was almost 40 lbs. Plenty of space left in the 60L pack but just too heavy to be practical...especially once you add water! AND this is with no tent or bivy either.

The spreadsheet is turning out better than I planned...there are more features than the last time I used this particular Google nugget...really becoming more of a planning tool than just a record of weights.

Only a few more things to weigh. The packs are tricky to weigh on a kitchen scale but if I have to I'll borrow a digital fish scale to do it...a few pieces of clothing are in the wash. I'll weigh them once they're spring fresh.

I'll try to take pictures as I put everything back. It's a big pile on the kitchen table right now.
