What's the weight of your big 3?

“yeah it will, I've not used a cannister in it, but from the cannisters I've seen it'll definately fit in one way or another, may not be exactly how you want it to go in but you can certainly pack around it.”

“The extension collar is huge, not sure I'd want to pack too much in there though”

“I have to split it into seasons.

Pack:
REI MorningStar 65 - 4,200 cubic inches - 4# / 4 ozs.

Bags:

Winter: REI Downtime 0 Degree - 3# / 4 ozs

Spring/Fall: Golite Fuzz2 40 Degree - 2 #

Summer: REI Travel Sack 55 Degree - 1# / 8 ozs.


Tent:
Hilleberg Akto:

Summer Weight (with inner tent and ground sheet, poles and stakes)- 3# / 4 ozs

Winter Weight (without inner tent, but with ground sheet, poles and stakes)- 2#



So, Winter: 9.5 lbs - Spring/Fall: 8.5 lbs. , and Summer: 9.0 lbs. I don't think that too bad. I mean I could lighten up on the pack, but I'm kinda sick of buying a new one every year. I fits good and as long as it not too top heavy, it's fine. I would like to get me hands on the Kelty Spectra - REI had a deal on them recently, 50 % off!”

“I guess I should say,
Vapor Trail 2
Akto 3 5
ME 500 TDS 2 5 (replacing with WM highlight at 16 ozs 0- the summer nights are much warmer than I'm used to :o) )
6lbs 5oz total when the new bag finally arrives.”

“Back in my first year of teaching in rural VT I caught one of my students weighing her BIG 2 on a scale in the back of the classroom during a video.

In my shock I yelled out some obsenities. I got in trouble, she and the boys got off.”

“Man, I got the heaviest set-up here!”

“Nah, I think Wounded Knee is still carrying that huge, three room tent.”
