Looks a lot like my new years day.
Hot water is for pussies. Eat it out of the tube.
total pack weight BC?
Will weigh it next time.
What I did find out though is that the new Cascades are not a patch on the old ones. Leaked badly (my bad I didn’t use a pack liner) and the elastic straps on the outside came to bits. The harness length adjustment buckle is a nightmare to adjust with wet/cold hands.
Done these so its a simple matter of slice open the bag empty contents into pot with water and throw a couple sachets of gravy into it and bobs your uncle

Nice light pack Tahr, sensible gear list covering food, warmth & safety........i find older buggers like ourselves (even though im still a pup at 56!) have what they need 'down pat' as experience from previous decades kicks in......
mines very similar, i take already cooked thick/chunky soups in a plastic bag (vacuum sealed) as you can eat them cold if your cooker packs a sad! takes very little gas to warm up,
HAVE to have a hot drink in the morning to get me started!!!!!!
good thread for newbies starting out.....we all take the 'kitchen sink' when we start out, it gets lighter & lighter as the trips get longer....for me the 'article' has to perform at least 2 jobs, or its gets left behind.....
ive converted over to titanium too....and merino base layers, warm when wet.....its the mutts nuts
