Thank you much sir!

Nice vid, I look forward to the rest in the series.

I'd be curious what your gear/food break down was to get you to that 30 pound mark with 8 days of food. It's the one area I always seem to struggle with. Even with a 20 to 25 pound base weight depending on comfort items, seems I'm always closer to 40 with that much food and water.

Thanks for sharing the adventure. Looking forward to the next one.

I didn't weigh items individually, just the whole pack. Ohm, 330z; single layer T-bird with 1 season Jarbridge UQ, 2lbs 8.8oz; 40* Lafuma extreme 800 Long sleeping bag, 1lb 13oz; camo cuben fiber hex tarp, 6.5oz; 2liter Platypus to bottle, 8.6oz; Evernew pot w/ stove and cup kit, 1lb, Teva sandals that strap on the back of my pack, 5.45 each; every day carry kit (EDC) that has med., fire, mini multi-tool, etc. , 1lb; Bahco Laplander saw, 6.8oz; headlamp, 3oz. Hind lightweight "camp" pants, Hind lightweight long sleeve shirt, Columbia shirt, Frogg Toggs (no pockets light weight ones), 7 pair Fits merino wool light weight "no show" runners socks, 1pair Dexshell water proof socks, 1 pair underwear, toilet kit with various items (I don't use toothpaste, even at home, FLOURIDE is poison, I use baking soda), GoPro, Sony cybershot, 1 1liter Gatorade G bottle, 1 20oz Gatorade G bottle, various snacks like parmesan cheese and beef sticks, jack links, reese's nutrageous king size, for lunch; oatmeal, dried fruits, and Packit Gourmet. I had 8 dinners and 4 breakfasts from Packit Gourmet, which probably saved a lot of weight. I even use lithium batteries in headlamp and mini cree flashlight, lithium are lighter and last a lot longer.

Congrats on a great trip!! It's been a pipe dream for me, but I'm going to start working towards this for September 2015. I was always worried about the costs and planning, but I just spent about 30 minutes doing some research and it's not nearly as bad as I thought.

With fees, parking, gas, boat ticket, etc. I'm looking at $409. Only $307 if I borrow my dads Chevy Sonic for the 10.5hr drive (still holding out and saying my Jeep is worth the extra gas 95% of the time )

I just got around to catching up on your vids. Thanks for the breakdown, food weights are one of my biggest struggles, mostly because I always seem to over pack and end up bringing stuff back home. You'd think I would have it dialed in by now, but I like a variety. I'm going to have to check out Packit sometime.
