>>2522174>a lighter pack is always easier to carry>less weight always weighs lessIt's /out/'s very own physicist again, repeating the blatantly obvious for the hundredth time so far this year. I'm going to call you Cries at Gluten from now on, discoverer of advanced gravitic principles and consumer of non-GMO, fair trade, organic vegan goyslop.
If 35 lbs is even significantly noticeable to you compared with 25, you are either an out-of-shape stickbug manlet, or else a normal woman. You can see your abs? So could an Auschwitz prisoner. You can walk dozens of miles with a very light load over packed dirt? Congratulations, so can anyone alive who isn't fat, or for that matter even if they are (a bit) fat.
If you have to shave every ounce in order to not feel totally exhausted after a normal day on the trail, that is a coping mechanism for your general lack of fitness and status as an unfuckable stickbug manlet vegan-thing.
I know this beyond all doubt because I can hike a solid 2 miles per hour off-trail with 50 lbs. for most of a day through the Appalachian backcountry and still be chipper enough to go fishing after I set up camp.
