[pct-l] What is your current pack weight now

[lars at standardarmament.com (Lars Nilsson)]

Hi, I am a student at PCC and am in a statistics class.  I needed to
find an interesting topic in which to conduct an informative poll.  The
average pack weight of people who have completed the PCT compared to
their bodyweight came to mind. 

In order to conduct this survey I need only 2 questions answered: your
pack weight and bodyweight.  For my project I will need 30 or more
responses but I feel that this community is up to the task.  I am also
comparing your guys pack weights with that of the AT community.  You are
helping a college student complete a class, think of it as your good
deed of the month. 

 

I know pack weights have dropped drastically.  When I was 13 I went
backpacking for a week up in Mount Adams and my pack weighed 45 pounds.
This past summer I went backpacking with an 18 pound at New Army Pass.

Also in regards to my survey I only need the responses of men.  I am not
trying to be sexist - it is only that in terms of my research I had to
pick one sex and thought that I would have a higher chance of completing
my research if the topic applied to men. 

Thank you all for your help

 

I will share my results with this community after I have received all of
the data I need.
