>>450015>>450017Carried a banjo, weighed 4 lbs. Carried 2-4 Magic the Gathering decks. Carried whiskey when I could find it. Carried weed. Carried LSD and mushrooms when I could find them. For a while I carried a Nintendo DS. Carried a book every now and then. Other random shit people would give me or I'd find that would hold interst for a while. ALWAYS carried at least one pouch of rolling tobacco.
When you're hiking for 6 1/2 months, it is the luxary items that keep you going.
Even with all this crap my pack only weighed 25 lbs with 1 liter of water and 2-3 days of food (summer/spring weight, not including fallclothes). Hit about 33 lbs in the fall.
