On a day hiking trail (Berg Lake, Mt Robson) I saw as I was going down the route, a couple of Japanese girls with packs that (I'm NOT exaggerating) were as big as they were, volume wise. One was struggling to put her pack back on and the other was assisting her. Somebody sold them the royal bill of goods for camping gear - I can't believe they brought them from Japan; they must have bought their gear locally - perhaps in Jasper.
