Hey folks, looking for a shakedown of my pack for Rae Lakes Loop in late May (planning Memorial Day week, either 3 nights/4 days or 4 nights/5 days).

Lighterpack: https://lighterpack.com/r/84rll6
Base weight: 12.66 lb

Trip context:

  • Rae Lakes Loop (High Sierra)
  • Late May (expect cold nights, possible snow patches depending on year)
  • Solo

Main questions / concerns:

  • I feel like I’m overpacking clothing, especially sleep system redundancy
  • Space in my 62L is getting tight, especially with bear canister
  • Wondering if my “clean sleep clothes” approach is worth the weight

Non-negotiables:

  • I would really like to have a dedicated clean sleep layer

Right now I’ve got a Smartwool thermal 250 base layer set as my sleep set, but it feels like an obvious weight target.

Would appreciate any feedback on what you’d cut, consolidate, or rethink - especially clothing system and bear can efficiency.
