Lighterpack version of my typical trip. Light but comfortable for conditions expected to be >25F, little snow, <=10 days without resupply. Been "ok" on trips that hit 15F and several inches of snow. See notes about outdoor gear more information. My "all-options" has everything I might take on a trip. Often mixing urban+backcountry trips.
