[pct-l] Ultra Lite JMT pack

[Reinhold Metzger]

All this talk about pack weight made me remember that I promised  
''giniajim''  that I would post my JMT fast pack base gear....so here it 
is in ounces.

Home made pack.................................................11
Home made tent with poles and stakes.............11
Western Mountaineering sleeping bag..............16
Sleeping pad.........................................................  3
Foot print ground cloth........................................ ...4
Trash bag rain coat.................................................2
    (My tent serves as my heavy rain rain coat)
Nylon windbreaker..................................................5
USMC cold weather sweater...............................10
Fleece jacket..........................................................13
Fleece long pants....................................................5
Fleece hat & gloves.................................................2
Bandanna sweat rag..................................................1
Alcohol cook set.......................................................4
Alcohol fuel...............................................................6
Navigation (map, compass, glasses,sun
      glasses, pencil, note pad, etc.)..........................6
Gerber knife (21/2'' blade)...................................1.5
Water purification (iodine crystals).....................1.5
Petzel head light and extra batteries.....................4
Toilet articles (tooth brush & paste, APP and
    potty trowel, chap stick, insect rep.,mosquito
    
net).........................................................................5
Emergency kit (nylon court,duct tape, carpet
    tread, curved needle)...........................................2

If I would ever fast pack the JMT  again I would eliminate the 
windbreaker & the stove and bring the base weight down to 102 ounces.
