But their not in my pack...<br /><br />I am carrying cutlery, Jetboil extending handle spoon and fork. The weight is included (but I forgot to point out their presence) witg my Flash. They live in a stretchy loop on the side so in my fluffy brain became part of one and the same. Sorry!<br /><br />The thing about kit lists I find is to be obsessive about your own but not others. Everyone will carry what suits them, what they like. Mens gear also tends to weigh a bit more because it may be bigger in general and there will be other differences. I also strive to carry a lighter pack as I am a feak and weeble girly, you are a big strong man and can carry a couple of kilo more luxuries!<br />I'll make my corrections...<br />Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-37839137151070539012013-04-17T07:29:53.595+01:002013-04-17T07:29:53.595+01:00Hello again Louise

The big differences in your favour are tent (540g), sleep system (160g), sac (260g), cooking and fuel (200g), dry bags and packliner (210g). Whereas I save on headwear (50g), gaiters (170g), and first aid (80g). Also I will not be wearing a bra saving another few grammes. I will, however, not be eating with my fingers, unlike your good self.<br /><br />Finally, you appear to have walking poles made out of gossamer as they are 507g lighter than my alloy pacer poles!<br /><br />If you think I am a bit odd doing this you will not be alone :)FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-91283580404774762512013-04-14T10:54:35.546+01:002013-04-14T10:54:35.546+01:00Thanks Martin.

My Akto adds 0.5kg but can't for the life of me see where the other differences are.<br /><br />DavidFellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-59660902801247667632013-04-10T15:47:31.853+01:002013-04-10T15:47:31.853+01:00True :-DTrue :-DLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-47416712202455782172013-04-10T15:20:43.271+01:002013-04-10T15:20:43.271+01:00An spare spork.
