My Locale The Netherlands About Me Started hiking somewhere around Y2K, with a 50 pound pack, incl. food, water and fuel. That dropped down to ~37 pounds incl. f, w & f, which wasn't that bad concidering traditional gear and food for ten days! Than the UL bug bit me and my gear weight dropped and dropped to a baseweight of ~10 pounds for my Scotland-16-day-Solo. Going solo for 3 days two nights max, baseweight is down to 4lbs2; Going solo for longer baseweight is down to 8lbs2. Country The Netherlands My PDF Gear List Gear list TGO Challenge 2008
