Weight the weight before you go!

Weight the weight before you go!

You're planning to record somewhere in the fields, and you know you'll have to hike multiple miles.
Of course, you could pack everything into your backpack and weigh it. 
Alternatively, you could create a spreadsheet with all your gear and the weight of each item.
With a little "spreadsheet magic," you'll know the total weight before you touch anything, and you'll have an additional packing checklist. How does that sound?

Okay, let's take a look at your gear!
Put everything you have on this list on a scale. If similar items have slightly different weights, take the average.

Now, we will show you some example spreadsheets to help you get started. Feel free to use and modify the files as needed. 
As "opensourcerers", we are providing these spreadsheets as files to be used in open-source products, e.g. libre office. Of course you may use any other spreadsheet-application of your choice.

Die Idee ist mittels SVERWEISEN eine Materialliste zusammenzustellen und in einer zusätzlichen Spalte wird das Gewicht automatisch aufaddiert.
