>>2342174I mean it really varies by hike and season and all that. But yeah, it gets pretty heavy sometimes. I have someone with me usually to help carry water if need be. But it's hard to predict sometimes how long you will be hiking.
I also have a 40,000 mAH battery backup for my phone and some other stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, medications, lighter, and a few other things.
Sometimes I bring spare cotton t-shirts to change into mid-hike.
My brain has rather generous cooling requirements and ice water helps a lot.
