Thank you for the welcome & response grin

Your question to my question makes lots of sense.
Mine was a leg injury. Nothing major but enough that a full load was too much.
Warm day, medium terrain, 9-10 hrs outdoors.

In the past I've pulled my back or twisted an ankle and had to lighten the load as well so I wanted to see what the knowledgeable men & women at ETS had to say.
