[at-l] Re: Weighing gear

For tents, packs, sleeping bags, cookgear, boots, and a few other items,
the manufacturer usually supplies that info OR you can obtain a gear
catalog from REI (http://www.rei.com) and their product descriptions give
weights for EVERYTHING.

The Lord Bless and Keep You!

: Where do people find a scale to weigh gear items?  I just have a postal
: scale (probably not perfectly accurate) and a bathroom scale (accuracy
: questionable).  So, how do I tell the weight of my tent, backpack, water
: purifier, etc. to the pound and ounce.  I'm sure the scales at the U.S.
: Post Office would do it, but I can't imagine they would let me do such a
: thing since I don't intend to then mail the items  :-)
: 
: Must I *buy* a 20# scale for personal use?  I can't believe that this is
: what everyone does.  So what _do_ y'all do?
