Put your pack together over 12 months and constantly search online in google for the exact brand/size you want 2nd hand and clearance/sale items. You will pop a pack together very very cheaply. But still have quality gear that will last you. THE LOWEST BUDGET & WEIGHT OF A PACK LIST I'VE EVER MADE, BUT STILL WITH WARM GEAR! FOR A 4 DAY HIKE and a -5 DEGREES CELSIUS HIKE! Maybe a couple of mistakes, but with your high intelligence, I'm sure you'll work around it.. The BIG 4 - SEARCH ONLINE AND IN STORE FOR BRILLIANT SALES AND 2ND HAND ONLINE OR OP SHOPS!! Getting the BIG 4 TOTAL weight as close to 3kg (or lower) will reduce the overall pack weight... This is the secret to carrying either an 18kg pack OR a 11kg pack...Obviously age, gender, Muscles all play a part in what weight is actually enjoyable and safe to carry.. we are all very very different, DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU..
