I
always travel pretty
light ...my tent I can put up in less then 8 minutes and it weighs under 5 lbs..my sleeping bag around 18oz, a hunting knife, cup for water, flint, tinder, axe, extra socks, first aid kit, bug spray, water straw, a small skillet and I limit myself to less then 5 lbs of food stuffs. All in all about 17lbs plus the weight of pack. Very manageable. When I was camping a lot my pack was always waiting for me to sling on my shoulder and I was off. Packing and clearing campsite under 40 minutes-and I can go
lighter-in an emergency
