Shaving the weight off

Only 2 days to go until I fly out to Greenland to hike the Arctic Circle Trail. Today was a good day of packing, unpacking, re-packing and changing the way stuff is packaged. My buddy Daryl, who is a self declared kit junky, came to my house and helped go through all my kit. After much squeezing and pushing, we shaved off about 5kg and reduced the pack volume significantly. With all my food and kit, my hiking pack weighs in at a 30kg. My calorie count should be about 3000 calories per day but my current calorie count was about 2500 calories. So, I've bought some more high calorie snacks to make sure I have enough energy. Sadly, think an excess baggage fee is pretty inevitable.
