How heavy are your packs and for how many days do you go out?

[QUOTE="woodwurx, post: 1448689, member: 104704"] I’m doing a 14 day trip this year and backpacking in 11 miles, but this is an archery hunt so I get to leave the 14lb rifle behind. My pack will be right around the 50-55 range with food. We usually carry enough supplies for 7 days and re-supply half way through when we pack our first Bull out (optimistic). My buddy and I always go through our gear together to make sure we’re not bringing multiples of cookware, stoves, filters etc. I’ll carry the msr stove and he’ll carry the fuel and so on, so that we share the load. Advice, wrap a 60 lb bag of concrete mix or sand in a towel or black bag and load it in your pack. Do some hikes with it on and do lots of air squats with the pack on. This will help build those needed muscles and also help with finding any faulty pack issues. I like to do this 3-4 months in advance to my hunt. Switching from a 65 lb pack of sand to your regular 49 lb pack will be a sweet treat for your body when that trip comes up [/QUOTE]
