lightweight snow camping in Oz 6-May-2009 At 4:47:01 PM jono_1

Here are some weight saving ideas I have used over the years in the snow or mountains.

- Get rid of the thermarest. I use a ridgerest cause they are light and you can't puncture them.
- You could save 500g-1kg and buy a lighter tent, but expensive. Or build a snow cave, which takes a while.
- I use a lightweight non-gortex jacket and pants (300gms and 150gms respectively)
- only take what clothes you are going to wear and a lightweight down jacket or ditch the down jacket and go to bed early.
- get rid of every single piece of extra food packaging. If you use dehydrated food
packets buy the same one and put them all into a ziplock bag.
- take someone you are happy to snuggle with and zip your bags together
