That dumbbell could have been a nice IPA or some other good thing.
If it was a bigger pack, I would've put something else in there. With it being so small, I needed something very dense.
She's one of my gym buddies, so a dumbbell seemed appropriate. I also knew that she wouldn't say anything, even if her pack did feel too heavy, as she would never admit that she was struggling. After the hike, she actually thanked me for the 'life lesson,' and I feel that she's been more open to asking for help when she needs it.
