AFter carrying all this stuff for a while you don't even feel it. It's all about even placement and distribution. Of course it is much easier in the winter but even in the summer time if stuff gets too bulky I just bring a funny pack or my backpack that I always have with my anyway. In my pack you will find water, some candy bars and rain jacket. And as always guys comments, suggestions are always welcomed. I'm here to learn. Small disclaimer: meds you see are for my use, my family use and my close friends (after I got my friends dad out of diabetic come w/ glucagone and when my dad had an alergic reaction to shrimp coctail w/ Epi and Benadryl). None of my drugs goes to strangers.
