I am frustrated with my pack size & weight.
I have totaled up the weight of my pack contents a number of times and even now that I have switched to carrying a WBBB and DIY hex tarp instead of a tent, I am not able to get my pack weight or volume down to where I want them.
I am carrying a 75 liter REI pack that is just under 5 lbs. I had hoped that I could use a smaller & lighter pack (like an Ula), but my poncho liner UQ takes up a LOT of space in my pack. I am also carrying a down sleeping bag instead of a TQ, which adds more bulk than I need. Of course if I swap out the bulkier items for those that compress more, I can drop the pack size and thus the weight of the pack as well.
Here is my question: what size pack are you guys carrying for a multi-day trip? I've seen Shug's videos, but just wanted to know if everyone else is carrying similar sized loads?
