4Falls Report post Posted April 12, 2008 I start with everything I need. Then I add things I might need. Then a few things that I have just laying around. Then by the time I get to the top of the hill it feels like I've added a few rocks, the rear quarter panel to a '59 caddy, a couple of railroad ties and a barbell. But I like to be ready for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CnS I have seen how this works out well for Gino. The LARGE compartment is filled with Snacks But by the time he has to pack meat out it is empty. The draw back is there is no less weight but just shifted way forward Unless the mountain money is used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
