Food 1,000
Total Weight : 9,796g
Some stuff didn't get weighed and I guestimated the food at 1kg for a trip starting in the evening and finishing late afternoon the following day. I'd say a few hundred grams might go on.
All I can say is, I'll miss my firelog :'( but at 1.4kg it's just not worth it.

I'll carry the firelog tonight if you want one... bring it and i'll stick it in the pack for training. :)

I'll never turn down an offer like that. Anything to slow you down ;)
