Anyone know what this thing weighs? I was interested in using it for backpacking.

It weighs only a few ounces. Your wouldn't even know you are carrying it in a backpack.

don't know how much, but it IS very light. I have an REI metal press that makes about as much coffee, but is much heavier.

Difficult to tell really and don't have the packaging left so I'd say it's quite light but I had bought it for hiking but since I'm very careful with added weight in my backpack, I chose to bring a different one cuz it's still too heavy for my needs .. Sorry don't have a scale to be more precise

It's heavy! This will be relegated to base camping. I'm going to hang my food instead of using this for backpacking.

I will be happy to confirm the weight as I just got mine out for my next backpacking trip. My digital scale reads 17.3 ounces.

friends of mine used this for backpacking. they chose this tent for the room see the bigger the tent the more weight so keep this in mind. i use a 10lbs tent for backpacking.

It's pretty light! Maybe 10 lbs max? I'm not good at estimating, though...Still, it wasn't a problem to carry it for a while, even while hiking for 10-15 minutes.

My husband says it's roughly 2.8 lbs. We'll be carting it around in a boat and a camper not backpacking so size is more important to us than weight. He really likes it. He mostly strums his full size steel string but finger picks the backpacker and feels it's improved his playing all around. Hope this helps.

I dont have a scale, but it feels like a pound or two, max. Its definitely not the lightest sleeping bag I've seen around, but it's not very heavy. For a long backpacking trip, this might not be the best choice, but for day hikes and overnight camping, it's suited me very well

Under product dimensions it states that it is 10 lbs. .... but the shipping weight is listed as 8.6 lbs. Either way it is a bit heavy for a backpacker.

I'd say less than a pound, probably 7-10 ozs. I tried it out for carrying all my small items, tied to the outside of my pack. It might work for you but I had some other stuff loaded wrong and my pack just didn't ride well. It's still a useful piece of gear at a good price. Many uses if you need it...

I weighed it all together and got 8.75 lbs on my scale. I make no claims on the accuracy of the scale (it's old) but using it in the past to weigh ebay items for shipping has given me pretty close results compared to how those items weighed at the post office. The kit may be a little awkward for backpacking because of the shapes and lengths of the parts but if you are backpacking with others then I suppose it wouldn't be to bad if you divide the load. The grill has a bigger diameter than it looks in the picture so that may be the most difficult part to pack.

Not much at all. Maybe 2.5 to 3 pounds. Very reasonable if you hiking with it. I did add some stuff too so maybe even less.

I don't really know as I haven't tried to "max out the load". I think the max I have used in it so far is about 40 lbs, and it had absolutely no issues with that. That said it's not really built for carrying massive weights. It dosn't have the extra wide heavily padded straps that you'll find on backpacking packs. If max weight is what you're looking for I'd recommend just getting some dry-sacks and packing in those in a rucksack.

It seems almost weightless... not heavy at all. Maybe a couple of ounces. Sorry I don't have an exact answer but if you're looking to backpack with it or something where weight is an issue, this one is very light.

Hey Rob,It's definitely not 18 pounds! I didn't notice that in the product description when I ordered it, or I certainly would have thought twice. I've let a friend borrow it for a float trip, so I don't have it handy to weigh at the moment but I would estimate 2 to 3 pounds. It's not heavy-duty to the point of overkill, but it does seem to be well made and has worked well for me. Never had it fully submerged, but in the floor of my canoe with water pooling it kept my gear dry. It is a little smaller than I expected but I think that was a mis-estimation on my part. I think the advertised 30L is probably accurate, I'm just used to having a larger pack (I use 46L and 70L packs for backpacking.) Hey Rob,It's definitely not 18 pounds!

the weight of this product itself isn't that much, but make sure that it need powerbank to save energy. So, totally it almost weigh 1kg, I guess. It doens't make you feel heavy in hiking. one thing I want you to consider is that if the weather condition is not steady(cloudy or going into the shade of wood) I will not want you to do. Anyway I hope this help.

9lbs and also very unwieldy when cold. Also the residue will get all over and stain your gear. I would not recommended this for backpacking.
