I been thinking of going on my own to the mountains for 2-3 days and see how i would do with the bare min. On the last WSS backpacking trip. Reuben mentioned that he wants to do the same.
So I thought maybe i could set up something with a few other folks from WSS. Here is what the basics i had in mind. Each one carries no more then 5-6lb including the pack. Thats besides the cloths we would wear. Each person can carry only one tool with sharp blade\s. That mean if you bring an Axe you cant carry a knife. You can bring a multitool but nothing else with an edge on it. Each one, cant carry more then 1lb of food what ever it is. Only one way to make fire. Then you can take what ever else you want BUT you cant go above let say 6lb. No one would know what the other person brings with him untill the trail head. We would share what we have and instead of making a camp we would need to cover so much distance in the 2-3 days. So each day would bring diffrent challenges of setting up shelter and getting food togher. It would be intresting to see what everyone would bring as the one blade and which ones would get used the most between everyone. Im looking at maps to find a place where we can do that as we would need to make fire for cooking. It would be the first time so if anyone wants to add more ideas to make it a better trip please do post on here. Oh the only thing that would not have a weight limit are cameras... Im sure you guys would agree on this part.
If anyone has an idea where not far from LA we can do that please let me know.
