I hear that. My first trip I carried like 60lbs! I am down to about 30 now. I still am a slow hiker (4-5 miles a day), but I stop and smell the flowers and hug the trees and other hippy shit , but having a lighter pack makes it so much more enjoyable.

That which doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. Right? Unless it has to do with your back
