[pct-l] Weight

[Me]

Youll get that weight down oneway or another. Whenever i consider if im too heavy or not i think of past hikers whose footprints are now long gone.  40 pounds would of sounded featherfully fantastic. Plus the human body gains strength and muscle to meet its demand. Whatever you carry as long as you dont physically overdo it youll make it. Listen to ur body

I'm curious to how much your packs weigh with everything in it minus food and water. I have taken a few things out to get the weight down. A few things I have weigh more than I would like them but its about comfort. Like my sleeping bag - Its good to -20C but weighs a bit more. I might get rid of some of my luxuries ... but that includes my camera and such small electronic things. I don't really wanna give those up.
