Oh, he makes the same comment everytime anyone talks about the weight of packs, bear cans, etc.
Really? I don't remember making enough comments on the subject to be known for it. I need to search some of my old material.
To be honest - I prefer to carry as little as possible. The MT trail can be day hiked with well under 10 pounds (water included) and overnight trips don't require much more if the weather is right. I'll happily carry the canister if the rules say I must or leave it if it's not required. It's not enough weight to make me care one way or another.
I guess if I do a search I'll find several hundred posts where I said the same thing before.
Anyone ever notice that when someone says something like "Not to be an A$$ or anything" the FIRST thought out of people's minds is that someone is TRYING to be an a$$? I mean, my gawd, if I was TRYING, I wouldn't go to the trouble of saying I wasn't trying........................................................DUG
