I splashed out today on some new digital scales - $40 at the Warehouse. I thoroughly recommend you go digital - more accurate. I re-weighed all my gear again today, there was a difference from my old "dial" scales.
I have updated my weights on my gear page. After my big Christmas trip I will have a more accurate "average" daily food weight.
As always, I enjoy your feedback. If you have a gear list, email it to rob@assess.co.nz and I will post it. Or let me know your web page address where your list sits.
This blog is designed to exchange ideas about how to dramatically cut your gear weight to make tramping (hiking) trips less strenuous, but still remain safe and sensible. Subscribe, make comments, ask for advice, or share your lightweight gear experiences with our community. The header photo features me on McKellar Saddle. The pack is the 45Lt Zpacks Arc Blast, hiking poles Helinox FL120, Dirty Girl gaiters, Spalms sunsleeves and Altra Lone Peak shoes

Hey, thanks for you contribution - I monitor my blog weekly. I will reply with comments, ideas and suggestions ASAP - In the meantime, remember, hiking is an outdoors experience to enjoy, not an army boot camp training exercise!!
