I gave this subject a great deal of consideration and it really took a lot of thought. After looking at packing lists, weighing gear and packing/repacking my pack a few times, I decided that the best way to save weight for me is to get anyone hiking with me to carry a piece or 2 of my gear for me. Groupe hikes should leave me with a very light pack, indeed.

I bought the gregory baltoro 70 this winter on sale knowing I would not get to test it out till this spring. Ive been hikeing with it filled with 5 days of food and gear for the past week on day hikes and it just dosent ride right. It really bulky, to many straps. So I just ordered the ULA catalyst in hopes of a better ride and comfyer fit. Im xited.
Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.
Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
Works for me, every time. Ask my hiking companion.Originally Posted by Hooch
