I REALLY wanted a 20lb pack for this trip, but since water on the end of the trail is sketchy, and I'm require a ridiculous amount of hydration, I packed extra. 24lbs will have to do. There's a drastic drop in temps where we're going so I also had to plan for a 40* overnight low. I'd rather not freeze in my sleep, lol. My friend's pack will be much heavier since she has to bring all the extra diabetic things now. This will be a good trip to see just how hard she can push, and how well we can monitor her sugars, before trying a longer trip. Say a little prayer for us since we'll be 9 miles deep in the mountains and zero cell service.
