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.


What did you do with all the gear you removed? Did your friends pack all or some of it for you as 12 lbs is not a lot for any able bodied person in decent condition to shoulder/pack considering the underlying circumstances.
