QUESTIONS about BACKPACKING

This video was made for my friends who ask many questions about hiking and the PCT. Hope this helps! I could talk about backpacking all day! :) I forgot to mention that my base weight is 15 lbs, not including worn weight which is about 3 lbs. Base weight is the backpack and everything in and on it. Consumables including food and water are also not added but is usually the heaviest part of your pack. Water is 2.2 lbs per liter & food varies but is about 2 lbs per day. I’m trying to find ways to cut base weight (including the tent) and already cut 3 lbs off.
