: The biggest problem I have with this entire thread is that I look
: at my gut and all other comments about weight seem irrelevant.
: Then I look at my camera gear and I think 15+20=almost the
: weight of the kayak.

I don't see any problem with the thread. It's just a general discussion about weight. Losing weight and choosing your camera gear careful can save you some weight. On my last expedition, I shot most of the trip except for the magazine cover with a p&s and kept my DSLR gear as light as I could. Probably less than 8 lbs. I didn't weigh it. So far, I've sold enough articles and photography from the trip to almost pay for the trip. Kind of surprising how good p&s are.
