Current:

• Finish figuring out thin hiking socks and a solution for rain

Next:

Rest:

• Reduce essential oils
  • Take less, hopefully not more than 3
  • Add a carrier oil, probably coconut
  • Are the bottles heavy? Maybe replace with more lightweight bottles
• Reduce hygiene items
  • Remove mirror
  • Remove shaving tools
  • Remove the nail clipper or the scissors, probably keep scissors because they’re more multi purpose and perhaps lighter
  • Remove the wooden hair comb?
  • Reduce toothpaste weight
    • Do I need it at all?
    • Baking soda?
    • Tubeless toothpaste cube?
• Remove headphones, keep only earphones
• Finish using pack-drawing colors and remove / store at friends
• Consider to reduce duplicate items
  • Top baselayer (I have 2)
  • Top cool long sleeve (I have 4)
  • Top cool short sleeve (I have 3)
  • Shorts (I have 2 and neither is perfect for yoga)
  • Underpants (I have 2, probably keeping both, just listing here just in case)
• Replace the hiking pants, I’m waiting for Arcteryx Lefroy to be in the store, it’s a very lightweight option without all the extras I don’t need much anyway (Outdoor Research Ferrosi was an option too but they don’t ship here)
• Figure out air pad, probably use it instead of CCF, maybe add groundsheet
• Make items from F. more lightweight without destroying them
  • Take out the filling of the pillow, now it can easily fit into the bag
  • Take out the filling of the hedgehog, maybe making it lightweight and also can fit into the bag if needed
• Do I need the shower bag? Can I take a shower by filling water in the Big Agnes dry bag (I know it leaks a bit, but the Sea To Summit bag probably leaks at least as much ughhh) and hanging it on a branch and just taking water out of it with my hands just like a tap shower, it’s the least painful way for me when it’s cold and I suppose it works fine when it’s hot too (it’s not like the Sea To Summit bag pours much water either, it’s still a minimal backpacking pocket shower, not a hotel)
• Make the yoga mat lighter, by trying the Voyager mat, and experiment with yoga directly on grass and sand etc., also can the yoga mat safely serve as a groudsheet under the air pad?
• Add tent (waiting for Aeon Li stock, don’t forget repair kit and pole)
• Consider to reduce rain clothes weight
  • Frogg Toggs - what is that exactly?
  • Zpacks rain clothes
  • EE rain clothes (e.g. Visp jacket and mitts, check if has matching pants)
  • Mac in a sac
• Consider to get better bottom thermals
  • When legs get cold, try rain pants on and see if it helps
  • Odlo: Upgrade to x-warm / switch to active / switch to confort
  • Subzero long johns
  • Lightweight thermal options from those small European UL companies?
• Get rid of towel cases? Use the loop/button to attach them to the bag’s straps
