What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ ONEBAG / ULTRALIGHT INTERNET ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
Items like food, water, and fuel that get used up and weighed separately from base weight, since they're expected to decrease over the course of a trip rather than staying constant.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Base weight looks great but the consumables alone add another four pounds for a week-long trip."
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard ultralight and backpacking weight-accounting vocabulary, kept as a distinct category from base weight since consumables aren't a fixed part of the pack's minimum weight.
