[pct-l] Base Pack weight

[Paul Cronshaw]

JB,

There have been a number of postings on the PCT-L with suggestions to decrease your base pack weight.  

A friend and I give UL and LW backpacking presentations to local boy scout troups and public libraries.

Here is my 2 cents worth in the form of a link to my powerpoint presentation.
As you view each slide, you might pick up a few ideas to help in your goal for a base pack wt. between 10 and 15 lbs.

FWIW I have settled into a new category of BP weight that was coined by Bernie at Practical Backpacking = "Comfort weight".  Take the gear that makes you enjoy the wilderness in a comfortable way.

Happy Trails.
