Gear Questions Help me lighten my pack weight

Post image

On my last 4 day trip my total weight was around 40lbs that’s with water and food included. I used this app to figure out my base weight was around 27lbs, which to me seems ridiculous. Like the title says, what can I swap out or get rid of entirely to get this weight down slightly? (The pack is non negotiable, as comfort is a priority for me on long days on the trail) thanks

why the large powerbank? Why a sitting pad?

Sit pad weights nothing and is way more comfortable than sitting on a log without it, also doubles as a wind screen when cooking on windy days

No offense, but everything weighs something unless it’s nothing. Then it weighs nothing.
