Wizard of the Oz (ounce)

I was able to get the weight of all of my gear to around 31 lbs. I'm a gonna teach the novices a thing or two about the O.Z.'s. Lose the ounces in little places and you'll start losing pounds of unnecessary weight. Got a tooth brush? Cut off the bottom half of the handle, you don't need that ish to reach your molars.  Got anything with packaging, or individually packaged things? Take that jank off, and if you need to, shove it in a ziploc  bag which is probably lighter. Decide between what you want and what you really need. Our top girl Chauncey has been learning these lessons real quick after realizing a kitchen sink is unnecessarily painful to drag up a mountain, even when rolling on two wheels.  She's a trooper though and is still keeping up with us (and pushing us) with all of that extra weight.  Today she's putting a package of useless stuff together to send home!
Below are some Pics of ways I shaved weight.



This is Chauncey's jank that she'll send home (3.4 pounds BLEH!)
