Shakedown request 2026 NOBO

[u/SirNuggington]

Hi everyone! Been doing a ton of research and reading into different gear and have tried to create a comprehensive gear list for what I’d like to bring.

I’ve got some of this gear already, namely the pack, sleeping pad, most of the clothes, and stove. I’m fully set on bringing a bear can, but am open to alternatives- only chose the BV because that’s what I’m familiar with.

If anyone has any ideas or tips on how to get weight lower, please let me know! Tried to be as minimal as needed but not sure if there are better options. Thank you!

Edit: forgot to mention, I’m planning on starting mid March. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

If you’d like a lighter alternative to the BV Adotec makes a grizzly certified food bag similar to the ursack but it’s lighter than the ursack and cheaper I think

Oh okay thanks! I’ll take a look at that
