This was just a 6 day trip. I felt I was at a minimal load gear-wise. I COULD have used a lighter tent but wanted a free standing, so I took this one.
I took no cooking gear.
Add a couple oranges/apples/bananas/dates and three water bottles and you just added 10 pounds. I could probably pare it down a bit more, but I'm not sure what more to leave out. I didn't even have a rain jacket, just a nylon windbreaker and got soaked the first day (right as I was crossing that bridge the bottom dropped out) Had no spare clothes other than cycling shorts & underwear.
I can't imagine riding the distance being discussed, unsupported, with just one 15 liter bag but what do I know? As stated, I'm new to this.
