[at-l] Base Pack Weight



Forget ultra-light backpacking.  What about the 50s style of camping.
Canvas, cots, etc.  What can we add to the backpack for weight just so we
can brag how heavy the thing is?  My short list:

Large external frame heavy-duty backpack 8 lbs empty
Man-sized sleeping bag 7 lbs
Three man tent (for just me) 7 lbs.
Camp-Rest 4 lbs
Camp Chair 6 lbs
Clothes 6 lbs
Soap on a Rope, Deoderant, Toiletries 3 lbs
Big knife 1 lbs
Big Stove & Big Fuel 8 lbs
Coffee Pot 2 lbs
One gallon water 8.3 lbs
Canned Beans ?

What else can we add?
