[pct-l] on the trail

My 1994-model Dana Arclight Glacier carried lots of water, reasonably
comfortably, through the San Felipe's & the Paiutes (between Tehachapi and
Walker Pass) - although I was able to dayhike throught the Mojave, I think
that the Dana system has a lot going for it.

ymmv, etc!

 Pappy and I happily join the weenie crowd this year. We retired our Dana
Glaciers (made right here in Bozeman, MT) and opted for G4s at 16 oz each!
Without food and water, we are both right at or below 10 lbs. However, we
are
wondering if we should use the Danas over the Mojave, where our primary
weight
will be all the water (-- the logic being that the Dana packs are sturdy
enough to hold all that weight? Any comments?
