I'm going to try the M'smith M'light 4000, which weighs in
at 2 lbs, 5 oz. I've only used it for overnights, and it's very comfortable
at 25 lbs full-up weight. Will it last the whole hike? If not, I'll
repair/replace it then. I think it's worth a try. I can always fall
back on my Gregory... :^) at a few pounds more!
