Welcome to the Backpacking site! Here are groups of equipment DOSVader carries when he takes one of his treks. Most of what you see is used on solo trips to sometimes over 12,000 feet MSL with little amendment. A "bear can" (not shown below) is required when visiting most areas in the California central Sierra-Nevada Mountains. Depending on the trip length - from 2 to 16 days, overall pack weight ranges from 42 pounds to 62 pounds. When the trip is finished, e.g. there is no fuel, water, food, or other consumables, the pack with this equipment weighs just under 34 pounds.
