Made a couple big purchases a couple days ago because a friend of mine had a discount up to 50% off some gear. I decided to go ahead and buy a new tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. Separate from this purchase I decided to pick up a SPOT Gen 3 PLB so everyone back in civilization can track my day to day progress and also a new water filter. Below is the list and weight of the products I bought. I'm really excited about this because it will get my base weight below ten pounds.
Tent = MSR Hubba NX Solo ---- 46 oz
Sleeping bag = Therm-a-rest Antares 20 deg Down ------ 31 oz
Sleeping pad = Therm-a-rest NeoAir Xlite ------12 oz
SPOT Gen3 --- 4 oz
Sawyer mini filter --- 2 oz
5.9 lbs. :) Not a bad start
