The example demonstrates the planner. Adapt your equipment to the actual trip; the tool does not assess readiness or a safe carrying limit.
THE METHOD / 01
Know what goesinto your result.
Carried weight = base + consumable. Skin-out total = carried + worn. Each item belongs to exactly one weight class.
Keep the assumptions clear
This summarizes your entries. It does not determine a safe carrying limit or whether equipment is sufficient.
