Final weight

The bag is packed and the final weight is in: 13.5 pounds. Remember, this includes my day bag, sleeve, and computer which are all stuffed in the main bag (which happens to be my trusty Tom Bihn Western Flyer since the new TriStar didn’t arrive). Here’s how the weight is distributed:

  • Western Flyer and shoulder strap - 3 pounds
  • All clothing in a full-size cube which takes up all of one of the WF’s two compartments - 4 pounds
  • Tom Bihn Large Cafe Bag - 1 pound
  • Samsung NC10, charger, and sleeve - 4 pounds
  • 3-1-1 bag, camera charger, AC adapter plug, two microfiber towels, and two hangers - 1.5 pounds

After I get through the regional jet leg I’ll pull out the Cafe bag and I’ll have a sub 10-pound bag on one shoulder and a 4-pound bag on the other.

I’ll post some pictures tomorrow during our first layover.

This is a pretty fun exercise. I look forward to seeing how it goes!

Late observation here:
1) Close to 1/3 of the weight is the bags themselves
2) Idem for the netbook
