Main aim is to reduce the weight of what I carry. I've now done all I can with the kit: it weighs 12 kilograms with 2 days food. Co-incidentally this is exactly the amount I am over weight. If I lose this by spring, it will be like climbing with a pack that weighs nothing! I hope.
Seems from the above posts, my need to lose weight is a common desire. I used to kid myself that some extra weight would come in handy in a survival situation and watched Uncle Ray's extra food supply for support. It now seems that my extra weight has put me in a survival situation. I might have had my three score years and ten, but there's plenty more I want to do before I limit myself to sitting at the computer and looking everyone else's trip reports.
Maybe we should start a Bushie weight watchers group!
