Tested out an exciting piece of gear on this trip. I picked up a Fluid 12 from Mountain Hardwear a few weeks back. Fully loaded with two days worth of food, water, and gear my pack weight came to twelve pounds even. The pack was perfect for this trip, but anything over three days would probably be outside its range. Eventually I'd like to whittle the overall trail weight to under ten pounds, making incorporating a little running into these backcountry trips a little more enjoyable. .
