So I am planning a quick overnight hike (about 25 miles) next weekend on the NCT through the Manistee National Forest (weather permitting). The weight of my pack (not including food/water/fuel) should be about 14 lbs. But since I've lost 18 lbs in the last 18 weeks, can I say my base weigh is negative four pounds???
