Phanny Pack
Over the winter I started making a day pack. I started throwing stuff into a fanny pack that my daughter gave me as a gift. When I got to 200 usable items the name was changed to Phanny Pack. In case I missed something this is what I have.

The entire pack weighs in at 6 1/4 lbs if the belt accessories are removed the fanny pack by itself weighs 3 3/4 lbs. I would like to lighten it a little. Water, knives, compass, snacks, etc. are not shown as I never leave home without them.
It is an ongoing project so any ideas would be appreciated.
