But I think you have an inevitable truth Manana, significantly cutting weight beyond the point you're at involves spending lots of cash.
Yeah, I didn't really think about it when writing the list but if daytime temps are close to freezing I wouldnt take the sawyerA thought on the sawyer. When do you decide the cut off on carrying it? For me, if the temp is likely to drop below 5°C, I leave it at home. I'll either carry the water I need (i.e. just an over nighter), or I switch to Oasis water tablets. I don't want my sawyer to freeze and become useless. If it's on the boundary of the water temp, then I tend to carry the filter in my cleavage so that it won't freeze.
Obviously it becomes easier in the depths of winter when there is snow to melt. But it's that intermediate bit that I haven't solved properly yet.

Is your trekking pole for the SL3 in there? Might be and I missed it but my tired eyes can't spot it.
Or is that not considered weight as it's largely handheld?
Who do you think you are? Mole?...
Trekking poles are always in hands...or dragged along the floor behind me...
Off topic, but YUPMallorca, May anyone ?
