I took some weights to get some preliminary data points before I start weeding.
Good news is I've dropped 5 pounds body weight so I'm at 270. This is in my skivvies so doesn't include weight of clothing or boots, which is lightweight warm weather stuff.
My pack, fully loaded with water, snacks, gear, platform, and step is is 33 pounds. Remove the platform and step is 24.5 pounds.
I could probably forgo the 3 liters of water and use a smaller canteen instead of the hydration pack that would cut a good chunk off.
As for my snacks, I could lose some of the little Debbie's and save 1.5 pounds.....KIDDING! HA. There's only a pack of nutty bars in there. The rest is beef jerky, trail mix, fresh fruit, and a sammich.
I'll work on the pack throughout the day and provide an update later on.
