    Kimjon, thats an awesome array of gear you can tuck away in your pack....most of my stuff is 'old school' (been tramping for 30 years) probably need to get some of the newer, lighter equipment.......especially with my knees!!!!!
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!

    Yes, it makes such a difference. I used to lug around about 80L of gear and was still cold and uncomfortable, plus it weighed about 35kg+++. Now I can do 10days on less than 18kg of gear all up.

    What I've found though is there is very little difference between an overnighter and 10 day trip now...so somehow I gained weight on the over nighters and lost weight on the 10 dayers hahaha, but that's because I've gotten soft and like to have all my comforts with me now like tents and sleeping mats etc... whereas in the old days I'd just ''hardman'' it for an overnighter and wouldn't take any gear, just a couple Mars bars.

    Edit: I must add that I hate BC meals, they taste like warm dog turd!!!! However they enable me to go places with less, so its a means to an end.
