Ill update soon w/individual weight(s), but base weights are accurate:

ALL clothing:6lbs
essentials:4-6lbs
I normally pack anywhere from 2,500-3,300 calories per day.

well thats wht you get when you,upload a gearlist via smartphone...leave comments on THIS thread...er, copy.

I'd like a pic of the modified Lookout, making it into a toploader sounds cool, if complicated.

heres the lazy top strap. I need to install a buckle.

the extra fabric came from an outdated rei shelter, mightve been clled gimme shelter 2...
I completed the modding In about an hour, hour n a half using dental floss & a glovers needle...o ya, and a thimble^_^

That, sir, is very rock and roll.
