My Lightweight Backpacking Gear Load Out - 7kg / 15lb Base Weight for 3 Days

Here is my backpacking gear load out for thru hiking 80 miles over just 3 days. I used all this gear backpacking The Dales Way hiking trail from Ilkley, Yorkshire to Windermere, Lake District. I chose to do the route backpacking carrying all my camping gear. It was hot during the day but freezing during the night camping in the UK. Check out my Instagram for some awesome photos https://www.instagram.com/backpacking_uk/ The total weight of all my backpacking gear is 9.7kg including food, water and AV gear. I’m guessing the base weight is just over 7kg. The forecast was great with highs of 18c but lows of -1c so I had to take my cold weather camping gear.
