At 10 days we would really have to trim our gear. As the extra food will tip the scales against us. Probably a little less clothing, maybe a lighter tent. That's a tough one Trail Talk. You have an extended hike coming up?
Yeah, we have a 17-day jaunt planned this summer with one resupply on day 10. We really enjoy our Big Agnes UL3 tent, weighs less than my old 2-man and has loads of space. Other weight savers are 3/4 sleeping pads and light sleeping bags, counting on wearing jackets if cold. One mug serves as plate, bowl and cup. Only one pot, and one boil per meal to save on fuel... no #&$@ “simmer” recipes. As we get older, going lighter has been our way to keep on trekking 🏕
