I’ve been hot tent camping for 18 years now. The last 5 or so I’ve been focusing on reducing weight to enable farther, faster and more enjoyable trekking. Just curious if this is an area of thought for any one else? What does your total load weigh for an average trip? Where have you cut large amounts of weight? How much weight are hot-tenters hauling compared to cold campers?
I used to haul 130+ pounds. When I started weighing things I was shocked. The last several trips I’ve gotten it down to the 80-90 pound range with out really sacrificing any comfort. That is including all gear, food, water and the toboggan itself for a 3-5 day trip.
