Old Will Knott sold me some 9-10 years ago that still work well.
The one I use the most is the Ultraship 75. |

Having the weight scale with a detached reader helps when you end up weighing your total kit. I have a great scale, but the display is just part of the scale and it's hard to read the display when you dump your gear in a plastic bin to get it consolidated. I have two scales and I like the smaller one, but the detached display is more versatile.

Good point. I wasnt sure if the detached display would be a positive or negative attribute.
I feel like I'm putting far more thought and effort into a $25 purchase than required, but it was almost an impulse buy at Chinamart the other day. Glad i held off, looks like i can get something a lot better and more usable for the same $$. |

Glad i held off, looks like i can get something a lot better and more usable for the same $$. Yeah, I love my newer Ultraship...it's excellent for weighing individual items: 
The only issue is when you do a full-kit weigh-in. I typically use a plastic bin, and you can see the issue with the integrated face-plate: 
If I was to get another one, I would get this one. You can get an AC adapter (like mine, it uses 4xC-cell batteries), weighs up to 55 pounds and has a detachable face plate...that's pretty cool and well within your budget: Ultraship Scale ROCK6 |

I went with the ultraship75. Nice scale, detachable face make weighing my whole rig a lot easier.
Thanks for the info guys. Happy with my purchase. Oh and full rig came in at 38# 4.5oz with 4 days of food and probably 2 weeks worth of snacks. That was without water. We camped 10' from a stream. I still carried 2qt in my platypus. |
