I don't weigh my food because it's depressing, but if my week+ trips last the intended duration and I shoot something, and the packout is tough, I eat it all and lose ten pounds. I'm thinking 1200 calories a day would kill me.
The sub-6000ci pack phenomenon has me a bit baffled as well, for one-tripping a deer or sheep. One-trip of a sheep had my horns atop the fully extended drawstring-blouse-deal on the top of my terraframe, held down by the lid. Cape and ul drybag of clothes were strapped to the loops on the back. Pack was JAMMED. Maybe the Stone-Glacier sandwich style relieves some need for capacity.
Your Astralplane will be fine if you figure out a way to suspend your meat bags between your shoulder blades instead of letting it slump to the sleeping bag compartment baffle. Totally agree regrading sub-6000ci pack thing; I just don't know how people do it. Even using a 7400 cu packs with a meat shelf, I would have the thing stuffed. I'm packing a 9500cu Kifaru this year... I'll save weight somewhere else, no way that I'm skimping on cubic inches. Tanner

... about electrolytes. If you haven't tried them you should give the NUUN electrolyte tablets a try. I have found them to work very well. http://www.nuun.com/ Certainly will. Appreciate the link....

From 290 to 274. Looks like I'll be about 230 to 225 August 1st if I keep it up. Up to 5 miles of hill climbing 3 days a week and the knee tendonitus is under control. Starting to enjoy the exercise a great deal.
The 20B is a 5 pound (not 4.75 pounds) finicky bastard but I do have a few loads that are working ok. Wouldn't buy one if I had it to do over. Wouldn't be surprised that I could get a .5 pound heavier Savage lite weight to shoot better. Still getting 5"-6" groups at 415 yards isn't too bad. Funny thing is I can easily get 3" groups at 100 if I feed it a combination it doesn't like.

I'm at 2 pounds of food per day. I feel like an underachiever after this thread.
