This is how I weigh my pack(s):
Weight = "DANG that's HEAVY!"
(ok, canoeing ain't the same as backpacking )

I'm in the process of putting all my gear in a spreadsheet now so I can hopefully find out what gear I can upgrade for the cheapest without breaking the bank.
That's the same scale I picked up last week. I'll try to remember to post my spreadsheet.

Re: Weighing gear
Just picked up the scale that was suggested from Amazon. I am hoping it it pretty accurate. Past scales that I have purchased have been very glitchy and unreliable. However, this one has a lot of great reviews and satisfied customers. With free shipping, I figured why not give it a shot
343.1 Miles Hiked: 2004 (3 Days), 2010 (11 Days), 2011 (13 Days), 2012 X 2 (8 + 12 Days), 2013 (9 Days/Paddling), 2019 (30 Days/Paddling)

Re: Weighing gear
Here is the gear I brought with this year along with the weights. This is not including food or water. If it isn't readable, I can try another format.
