Wow, lots of responses. Nice!
@asylfox: The cheaper gorilla pod like tripods are very interesting! I started to do some research what is available in Germany. I am able to borrow a Gorilla pod from a friend to try it. So maybe I buy something like this later.
@aaacd: This is an interesting option! Isn't the gap too big between those two focal length? You are right, we haven't discussed WR yet. I habe a nice 31 Limited which I baby since I have it. In my experience it can get rough when the weather isn't on your side or you hit a rock accidentially. The K-1 with the 28-105 and with the 24-70 even more feels undestructible.
@robgski: I like both but when I think about it I am more a photographer who likes to hike. And the 28-105 is a great basic lens. That is my conclusion too. Yes, even with the child on my back we took a break every now and then to eat and play a little bit.
@csa: I bought some hiking sticks with a screw on one of them. I never used it so far to be honest. Maybe I should give it a try.
@deus ursus: Funny, I just bought this today in a cheaper version after I did some further research on the internet. My plan is to have the cam attached to this clip and have a lens case on the other shoulder strap or somewhere else on my backpack. I try to find something like a plastic bag with a rubber band to put it around the cam when the rain gets too heavy.
Thanks @all. We are geting there

Originally posted by weverka I take a strong interest in this thread. thanks for this.
Early this summer it did a 3 night trip with
K-1 with 24-70 and Iris 15mm and a Manfrotto Pixi Mini Tripod
I put way too much weight in the backpack and suffered for it. I did get some astro photos from the darkest sky I have ever visited though. The mini tripod is fine for astrophotography. I also brought some gel ND filters and did a few water fall shots.
Last week I packed lighter for a 40 mile trip, 4 nights, and a 12000ft. pass.
K-1 with 28-105 (1450 g), a Manfrotto Pixi Mini Tripod and an Iphone camera.
<40 pounds backpack weight including enough food for a sixth day. 1 lb. bivy instead of tent and an ultralight backpack and sleeping bag made by GoLite. You can go through REI web page on packing light to get some ideas.
I haven't yet processed my K-1 photos, but I am very happy with the shots I got from my cell phone camera. I used the tripod to get a few pixel shift photos. I am a big fan of resolution. I also shot some composite panarams with the 28-105, because the expansive views from the top can be captured in 28mm.
I like Deus Ursus sugestions, since my K-1 was not handy I took more cell phone pictures than I would have if the K-1 was in easy reach.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Did you miss your Irix 15 mm or did the panos with 28 mm do the trick? Buying lighter outdoor gear can be a solution too. Right now I habe a rather heavy but sturdy Nordisk 1 p tent which I love so far but the sleeping bag and mat can be some hundred gramms lighter depending on the weather conditions. But cheap and sturdy means expensive most of the times...
