This all easily fits in a 69 L Jansport Ranier that has been around since my dad got it in the 80's. Seen hundereds of miles and months in the alpines.
After this shit I carry whatever else I fucking want. Key word is 'want'. If i feel like being comfy I'll compress my 'my pillow' in there, stuff a few comfy clothes, maybe a portable speaker, climbing gear, and tastier food than the high calorie, high protein stuff i also plack.
I'm not a big guy by any means, I'm 158lbs, 6'1", but I hiked 38 miles and ascended 11,000 feet within 24 hours and didn't even think about it.
Manliness and whatever the fuck else you want to prove is best proven by your wit and knowledge. Pack what you need and if you pack well you'll be set. Carrying loads of heavy bullshit thats not necessary is stupid.
