dehydrated water?What an invention, that saves weight!
What do you carry it in ?A DRY SACK?It was another forum member who told us about it some time ago. I thought it was a great idea and have used it ever since!
Yup I agree. If you see my beloved 'sock-monkey' on the side of the roadway please tell him I still love him, but I just couldn't deal with the added weight.I agree with all of this good advice, except #6 might be very challenging ....
That is how I do it. The 'freeze dried' water is better than the 'dehydrated' stuff because you can use it to keep your beer cans cold too.What do you carry it in ?A DRY SACK?
If you use a Fanny Pack you can easily secure the "junk in the trunk"I'm two kilos down and have decided to drop my pack weight from around my --ummm---spare tire and junk in the trunk. Yeah. Lots of unnecessary junk, and difficult to secure.
Would that go for a bumbag too? I’m up for any way to trim the load back thereIf you use a Fanny Pack you can easily secure the "junk in the trunk"
Bumbag or Fanny Pack, either will handle all the junk in the trunk.Would that go for a bumbag too? I’m up for any way to trim the load back there
I salute you! Most excellent figuring!Bumbag or Fanny Pack, either will handle all the junk in the trunk.
A Waistpack, however, takes charge of the spare tire that might be flopping around on the front.
And, since the average shoe weighs about 1# or just under 1/2kg, and since you wear 2 shoes, you have a total of about 2# or 1kg on your feet. But we know that 1# on your feet is equal to nearly 6# on your back, so walking barefoot is the equivalent of shaving nearly 12# / 5.5kg from your pack weight. And if your pack actually weighs less than that then 12# / 5.5kg and you are walking barefoot then you are not actually carrying anything!
Instead of regular water, take the freeze dried kind instead.
Only if you are thristy. Otherwise it is weightless water.But don't you have to add water to reactivate it?

Exactly - if you can hang on 'til you get to the next bar to get the supplies to rehydrate your water, then you don't have to carry the extra weight. That's the whole point.Only if you are thristy. Otherwise it is weightless water.
Oh, and no need lug around those heavy international socket adapters with all their extra weight, just 're-purpose' your grooming kit after you clip your toenails. View attachment 19844
If still with us using kit like thisYou're retired, aren't you?
I still miss my little Sock Monkey. Cry myself to sleep at night. But he weighed 7.358 ounces. I had to cut weight!. . .
And No.6 is totally heartless, how could you....
How did you guess?You're retired, aren't you?
@Griffin57Does anyone know where we keep the helium tanks?
We could be like the guy in "UP" and fly over the Pyrenees? ...... Oooops I guess that would be ?cheating?
@Griffin57
This happened in my city a few days ago. I gather that the tricky aspect is getting the wind to take you, and your lawn chair, etc., where you want to go.

It's a pity that Australian sockets aren't used in Spain, otherwise I could give this a try...Oh, and no need lug around those heavy international socket adapters with all their extra weight, just 're-purpose' your grooming kit after you clip your toenails. View attachment 19844
