What's the weight of your BIG FOUR?

[LogHiking]

PM's are allowed. Mouseclick on a name. There is a little menu.

They often mention Hammock Forum, here. So, why not?

I worded that poorly I meant in case its against the rules to link other forums. Many forums have that rule and I was too lazy to read through the rules here. I already PM'd you however

Just Bill, Great job man. That is an incredible weight for a bridge. I love hanging but gave it up as my full time backpacking rig for a myriad of reasons. I think a bridge hammock would have fixed some of those but all of the ones on the market were heavier than what I was using and I was at my personal limit for added weight to make hanging work for me that I wasn't willing to add any more, so I went the other way. A sub 1lb bridge that allows me to use a long wide pad as adequate insulation could bring me right back

What's your pad size? Height/weight?
I made about 10 bridges along the way- if under a pound is the goal I can likely hit that. The current bridge can do a 20x72 pad, but the last size up is closer to 12 ounces I believe and should do a 26" pad. A pad sleeve would add a few ounces. If you want let me know, I could make one for materials and shipping. Or at least run some numbers to give you a weight estimate.

Fair warning though- I am morally opposed to hiking pole spreader bars

OOOOPPPSSSSS, I accidentally hit send before I was ready.

Below is my sub-zero gear list that has taken me well below zero on several occasions.

The hammock sock and zero degree quilts will be swapped out for 50 degree gear in warmer weather.

I'm going to try this on my next significant hike, in mid-April, Waynesboro to Daleville.

Zpacks Pocket Tarp with 6 Ti stakes: 5.2 oz
Zpacks bathtub floor: 2.7
EE Prodigy Long 40 deg: 21
Thermarest Xlite large: 16
Sea to Summit Aeros UL pillow: 2.5
Zpacks Zero: 7.2

54.6 oz = 3.4 lbs.

Well, it depends on the kit I'm using and who I'm traveling with. And, I don't have everything weighed out to the gram, so my numbers are only ballparks. I definitely lean toward the ultra-light side, but not with all the very best and lightest gear, more the affordable minimalist.

Summer:
- Backpack ~ 30 oz
- Quilt ~ 18 oz
- Poncho ~ 8 oz
- Pad ~ 11 oz
Total ~ 67 oz = 4.2 lbs

Shoulder:
- Backpack ~ 30 oz
- Sleeping Bag ~ 34 oz
- Poncho or Tarp or Tent ~ 8 oz or 18 oz or 48 oz
- Pad ~ 11 oz
Total ~ 83 or 93 or 123 oz = 5.2 or 5.8 or 7.7 lbs

Winter:
- Backpack ~ 38 oz
- Sleeping Bag ~ 48 oz
- Tarp or Tent ~ 18 oz or 48 oz
- Pads ~ 28 oz
Total ~ 132 or 162 oz = 8.3 or 10.1 lbs

On a bit of a contextual tangent, for a 3-4 day solo trip, my total pack weight is typically about 10-12 lbs in the summer, 12-18 lbs in the shoulder seasons, and somewhere around 28-32 lbs in the winter. By contrast, in 1980, on an 11 day climbing trip I was carrying 94 lbs. Body weight 165 + 94 = 259 lbs total in 1980. Now with body weight 225 + 35 lb backpack = 260 lbs.

NOT FAIR. I'm carrying more weight while carrying less stuff and hurting a whole lot more than I remember from back then.

Still too heavy in my opinion. I wish I had gone with a lighter tent.

+1

Those are awfully light. GG thinlight and custom 50deg down with 7D? Definitely, a 380z tent is out of place on that list!

And that's a bag and not a quilt? The zipper alone would blow the budget if that's a bag, lol.

Huh. My wife weighs more than that (about 140 lbs, but she carries herself).

LOL! I figured I needed to mention her loadout before people started asking where my sleeping pad was.
