More true words have not been spoken. If I put everything into my pack that I'd like to (and I've tried to make this work many times), the pack weighs over 70 lbs with food and water.

My kitchen table hasn't been able to be used in 2 weeks because it's all spread out systematically so I can try to figure out just where everything needs to go and what I can do without.

With that in mind I couldn't imagine adding another 8 lbs for something I won't use.
