That's precisely what I'm trying to avoid saniterra. Less weight means less physical stress and less exertion required. It's hard for me to part with all my toys though so careful planning is the only way I can get the proverbial kitchen sink out of my packs.

80lbs must have left you beat at the end of the day! So far my theoretical numbers put the pack at just over 60lbs if I were to put everything in I wanted to without care for weight. I know I could carry this much weight if I had to...but I wouldn't be happy!
