Pack weight planner

Formula

total = base weight + consumables (water litres x 1 kg + food days x food per day); share of body weight = total / body weight x 100

Assumptions

• One litre of water is taken as 1 kg.
• The body-weight share is a planning rule of thumb, not a medical limit, and fitness, terrain and distance matter more than the percentage.

Limits

No calculator can judge whether a load is safe for a particular person on a particular route.
