Nice to see these world collide here on HN! Hope you don't mind me sharing the truly dirtiest trick of them all: when you realize you didn't hit that sub 10 lbs

Nice to see these world collide here on HN!
Hope you don't mind me sharing the truly dirtiest trick of them all: when you realize you didn't hit that sub 10 lbs base weight, start marking them items as worn weight. What, surely that soaking jar can make a fine hat!
Seriously though, 40 liter backpack is palatial for front-country travel once I'm in the mindset of taking only the minimum necessary items and taking advantage of multiple use items.
- ruffrey 4y agoNow that’s funny, hiding it in worn weight. You mention multiple use - that’s huge too. Shaving grams everywhere can add up to half a pound if you’re newer. Choosing the lightest of multiple options (lightest base layers, lighter cup, lighter pot) adds up to savings.
