Bushwalk Australia

Hi All

It has cropped up a few times the weight of things and especially what they weight after the end of the trip. I.e. tent with condensation or a large lump of ice, a wet pack, etc. The pack is never as light at the end of the trip as what it should have been given the food eaten and liquids consumed.

Any way I thought I would weight my boots after the last wettish trip. Now minus the mud after a quick scrub they tipped the scales at over 1500 grams each. Many days later of drying out and they came down to 1150 grams or less each. Given the amount of mud removed the 1500 grams would have been on the light side compared to the walking weight. Makes you wonder if spending a fortune to save 100 grams is really worth the trade-offs.
