Shakedown request: looking to optimize my 3 season load out
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

Current base weight: 4.86 kg/10.72 lbs

Location/temp range/specific trip description: All over europe, based in southern Germany. Next big trip in Portugal

Budget: Not set, but I'm hesitent to splash big bucks on DCF gear

Non-negotiable Items: None tbh

Solo or with another person?: Solo

Additional Information: This is my current load out down to freezing. Based on the conditions I'll leave some stuff at home (clothes, bug bivy if there are no bugs expected etc).

Some thoughts by myself:

  • Rain jacket: I'm waiting for the Rock Front Rain Hoody to come back in stock. 130g saved for 54€ (0.42€/g)
  • Pillow: Thinking about buying the Exped Ultra Pillow in large. 67g saved for 41€ (0.61€/g)
  • Backpack: My Kakwa is probably too oversized for the 3 season load out. Maybe I'm venturing into the world of frameless backpacks, I'll definitly need a hip belt though, since I easily get sore spots on my collarbones. Maybe something like the custom Bonfus Altus (38 or 48L?).
  • Quilt: Maybe I'll sew another summer specific quilt (like around 10C comfort). Question is another down quilt (sewn through baffles?) or some Apex 67/100?
  • Stakes: The Swisspiranha BF90 and BF120 stakes are currently in the post. Eager to try them out because they only weigh 3/6g each.
  • Shelter: The only option to save some weight here is going with DCF. Probably have to MYOG it again because the prizes for ready made DCF tarps in europe are just a joke. Would still cost me like 300€ in materials for a 3x2.5m tarp.
