Last funny thing about those crazy heavy packs was the morning that we broke up camp at Outpost and put everything back into those packs. My buddy and I put them back on, we moaned..."There is no way I can carry this monster back down"
We were seriously thinking of proper ways to abandon our gear.We thought of everything from selling or giving our stuff away.
I manned up and said we packed it in we are packing it out.It was definately the most painful thing I have ever done was to put on that pack and carry it back to the Portal after have spent every ounce of energy and strength the 2 days prior.We weighed the packs at the Portal on the way up and on the way down.They weighed exactly the same thanks to wag bags not allowing the food weight to change.
