Conclusion

So, this is why a backpacking trip, using a pack WITH a hip belt, is a breeze. I carry more everyday to school than I do on a weekend trip.

That's pretty funny. I was thinking the same thing about my laptop in it's pack, and all the tools/power suppies, cables I carry to work 5 days a week.
