Question on my get home bag weight.I am going on an 1000 mile trip, I packed my get home bag with everything I thought I would need to get home, I figured it would probably take me 2 months to get home at 20 miles a day. Going over everything in the pack I tried to carry just what I would need, about 1 weeks worth of food, 2- 48 oz bottles of water, two changes of underwear, socks and t shirts. Full size self protection with two extra mags and a small back up with 1 extra mag, light weight cooking stove and fuel tabs, 1 first aid kit and 1 trauma kit, med and hygiene kit, Knife, Spork, light weight small sleeping bag, a rain poncho, compass, fire starting kit, small led flashlight, a high quality Monocular, a compact katadyne water filter and a life straw as back up. Small titanium pot with lid. titanium spork, Paper and pen, deck of cards and a harmonica, The issue is I am at 38lbs and I can't really think of anything I don't need in the pack, especially if I was on the road for two months. I will be eating the food and drinking water which will reduce the weight, though I will be refilling the water bottles, I'm carrying two 48 oz water bottles as I will be trekking thru the desert on the last 200 miles. So what do you think? is a 38lb pack doable, should I get rid of any weight or should I add anything additional for the trip? I see that most backpackers try to keep there bags under 30 lbs.
