Here is my entire packing list. This is grim:
Total weight, including a full Nalgene bottle is 21.1 pounds. This also includes the few ounces of the clothes that will actually be on my body, not in my pack (doesn't include the shoes, though, because those will always be out of my pack).
ArcTeryx Bora 80L pack - 6lb 8oz.: This is just too damn big. I am considering bringing my stuff in a throw-away duffle and buying a smaller pack in Toronto. Costa Rica is astronomical - maybe my CR cohorts know of a secret spot with reasonable prices?
Nalgene filled - 2lb 10oz.: maybe I should just by a cheap plastic water bottle from the market and carry that.
Cell phone/charger/adapter - 8.9oz.
Dad's ashes - 1.3oz.: won't be with me the whole time
Tissues - 1.2 oz.
Journal and pen - 9.5oz
passport/copy/credit cards/cash - 2.9oz.
cap - 2.5oz.
leggings - 8.0oz.
2 underwear - 2.8oz.
1 sportsbra - 3.6oz
3 ankle socks - 3.1 oz.
1 light scarf - 2.3 oz.
Lycra shorts - 3.8 oz: I wear these under shorts for anti-chaffing!
synthetic long sleeve shirt - 5.2oz.
tank top - 3.4oz.
sleeping back in compression sack - 3lb 1oz.: I'm thinking of leaving this behind and buying a silk sleep liner in Toronto!
Sarong - 8.2oz: this is my towel, skirt, blanket, etc.; however, I do NOT like how heavy this is; suggestions?
fleece gloves - 1.6oz: not really bringing for the warmth, more for the padding with using the trekking poles
quick-dry shorts - 4.3 oz
convertible pants - 10.3 oz.: I do not love these pants.
windbreaker - 4.8 oz.
fleece vest - 10.7 oz: do I really need this? It IS my only source of warmth, really.
Rain poncho - 9.3oz: doubles as pack cover, because it's really big.
quick-dry short sleeve shirt - 4.1 oz.
Trekking poles - didn't weigh them
Biofreeze tube - 4.6oz: won't be with me the whole way
tiny toothbrush and paste - 1.3 oz
self-care kit - 0.7oz (ear plugs, cotton, eyeglass cloth)
Baking soda - 2.4oz (for laundry, hair cleaning, deodorant and teeth when tiny tube is done)
4 clothes pins - 0.1 oz.
washcloth - 0.8 oz.
flip flops - 9.3 oz.
Foot aid kit - 4.7oz = 8 blister treatment sterile cushions, 6 bandaids, Curasilk medical tape, ibuprofen, about 1 1/2 tablespoons vaseline, roll of moleskin, tiny tube antibiotic ointment, 2 inches of emery board instead of clippers)
All the plastic bags that everything is packed in - 3.0 oz.
Let me say in advance, that I appreciaLOVE all of your input and assistance. Gracias.
