So you eat the other people. Simple.

Also, bring a pistol. Those aren't very heavy.

Are they? I’ll admit, my experience is limited but it’s seemed to me even pistols are a considerable weight, especially compared to other survival/camping supplies.

Depends what you consider considerable. For example Glock G19 is 855 g (30.16 oz) with a full magazine, to me that doesn't seem much. Especially if you consider how valuable of a tool it could be. Hopefully you'd have at least twice that weight in water alone.

Yeah, if you've ever done some serious hiking you know you wouldn't want to haul around a gun. Also, imagine being in a shootout while wearing a massive backpack.

1.5 lbs, loaded, on average. Even I overestimated by quite a lot but it still wouldn't have made a major difference.

How the hell heavy did you think guns were? Were you adding on the mental weight of being able to easily take a life? Because that traditionally does convert to mass very readily.
