[pct-l] pack weight vs hiking speed



I was just asked by a writer if I could give hard facts about how lightening
your pack weight affects hiking speed. Does anyone have hard facts that show
that they took off "x" pounds of pack weight and their hiking speed increase
by "y" miles per day? I think most of us know lighter backpacks produce
faster hiking, but I know I don't have any hikes that I hiked heavy, then
hiked light.
