I packed my pack today! Sorry, I don't know ounces, but I weighed myself with it off and with it on, and there was a difference of 18 pounds including everything except food, water, and a 2nd set of clothes. Looking VERY good for my 30 pound goal (in which I included water and food...30 total needs to be my max).
Pretty proud!
If 30 is your goal, you are golden. 18 lbs + 6 lbs ( 3 days food) + 4.4 lbs ( 2 liters water)= 28.4
Although you are more likely to be carrying 5 days food, but I have always found the 2lb/day heavy for me. So with 5 days at 1.6 you are still only 30.4, and eating and drinking it down as you go.
The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.
