A lot of the fun in preparing for the trip was testing different gear looking for that perfect combination of function and light weight.
Ultralight backpackers love to argue about the definition of different weight terminology, but here is how we are defining the 2 terms we are using:
Base weight - The total weight of your backpack and all of it's contents excluding consumables; specifically food, water and fuel.
Skin-out weight - The total weight of everything except your nekkid body and consumables as defined above. This includes the clothes on your back and the poles in your hand and the hat on your head.
