>>2508924>Nigger you need to post your gear list. The Bridget is easily 5lbs.Two different guys. First guy shitting on Dyneema garbage bags was (Me), second guy is someone else. I know jack shit about Fjell, although I've seen it being discussed on this board just recently.
Carrying 40 lbs. won't destroy your knees when you're old, because I carried much more than that in an external frame frequently and extensively throughout the 1990s, I'm in my 40s, and not only are my knees intact, I swim and inline skate for some of my exercise, and I wade rivers while fly fishing (which can be quite the workout, and hard on the knees).
Absolutely every single person claiming that carrying more than 20 lbs. (which is almost nothing) on a hike will destroy your knees is a an urban softbody in his or her teens or early 20s, making shit up to cope with being eternally out of shape. "Being in shape" doesn't just mean not being fat, and it doesn't mean being ripped, either.
