| I have
finally started to lighten my load. My total
gear weight now is 23 lbs. I still have a
tendency to carry a lot of water - I use a 100 fluid
ounce hydration system - in the canyon that is never
enough. Here is my breakdown. Some of my
other rig configurations I am almost now down to 20
lbs. Slowly I am getting there....
