[QUOTE="Buddro, post: 1738247, member: 108148"] To the people commenting on how someone is going to haul heavy loads if they dont want to haul an extra 5 lbs in their gun. Backpacking 101 lesson 1, ounces make pounds. Shave 5 lbs off your gun, half a pound off your water filter, 3 pounds off your pack so on and so forth, it wont take long to cut your total pack by 15 or 20 pounds. That kind of weight is a huge deal when you work for your kill. A mid weight camp vs the almost ultralight camp I had would have been the difference between hauling my coues deer and camp out in one trip this fall or having to make two. Am I fit enough to make multiple trips? Yeah, I made 6 laps to get my elk out a few years ago. But why would I when the right equipment for the job will mitigate the need? [/QUOTE]
