First overnight bike camping
S24 (or S24O).
Montebello Open Space Preserve's Black Mountain Backpack Camp (non-potable water)
Since the whole load was on front rack or my back it was a little rough. Trying to weighweenie this out. Carrying more water than needed was definitely a negative but better safe than sorry.
Switching the yoga mat for a thermarest should probably drop a pound, a lot of bulk, and make me more comfortable. Dropping the unnecessary "heavy" fleece and switching to some lighter hiking pants would probably drop another 1-2 lbs. Removing redundant headlamps (included because I wanted to test and compare) plus small other savings could drop another pound). If I could drop enough bulk to fit in just one front pannier that would save at least another pound.
