1) My relatives have a fish scale I"m going to hang from my storage shed's porch and put my pack on it. Add the basic list; tent, sleeping bag, etc. and weigh that.
Then add things I should take in addition to that.
2) And put 2 liters of water, meals and snacks for 3 days in it. See how much that weighs.
Try to walk around the backyard with each set of items. See if I can keep the entire thing between 30-35 pounds.
Probably walk okay with just the basics, less food and water. I'll exercise until I can get all of it, 30-35 pounds, in the pack and walk without having a hard time.
Then I"ll plan a hike.--

I have burned myself with a Sterno. Stove. So I would rather keep the msr. Stove. Apparently I don't see the flame easily and that was years before any eye problems.
I think I can get it down to 30 pounds total including food and water. I'll get something of a more exact weight to test the person scale accuracy. I just don't see how there could be a 12 pound difference. I expected a 3 pound difference at the most.

Didn't walk but I did move boxes in my storage shed. For 30 or 40 minutes. Well heated from the sun. So I did get exercise.
Found my old camp stove and the fuel bottle. Bottle has 2 caps. One is a pour top. Stove is heavy so I will use it for car camping.--
