25lbs or more. It includes knives, sharpener, rope, block n tackle, fire starting stuff, clothing for expected wx, 1st aid kit w/meds, saw, food for all day, lg camel back, rangefinder, binos are packed in the dark, calls, ammo, GPS, map, compass (i still carry them) and a Thermorest seat...im probably forgetting something.
Cant believe i used a simple wool backpack with no waist strap in the 80s and it was just fine.
