Weighing gear

[Ingo]

This is how I weigh my pack(s):



Weight = "DANG that's HEAVY!"
(ok, canoeing ain't the same as backpacking )

You're a hoot, Ingo, thats what you are.

I attempted to get lightweight the past few years, but never was proactive about it until this year. I picked up this scale from Amazon for $25 and started weighing all my gear early for this year's big trip.

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.

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

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.
