[QUOTE=waddy;736686]Wow, your pack last year was POUNDS lighter than mine! I'm really going to have to work on it! How do you say "gram weenie"?

Uhhhhh, you ol' curmudgeons really need alot of maintenance, don't you? The 240 ozs (15lbs.), was body weight NOT pack weight! Hence, the reference to my favorite ice cream.
I'm reluctant to weigh the backpack with all the new gear this forum is enticing me to buy.
