Total weight about 11 kilograms. At any one time I should be wearing between 1.5 – 3 kilograms of clothing. At some times I will post some of my gear ahead and pick it up at a town further down the trail, So my base weight should average between 7 – 9.5 kilograms!
Food and cooking fuel will weight about 1 kilogram per day on average. Water weight is extra again, at 1 kilogram per litre!
