Not only the extra backpack weight and extra sleeping bag weight, (I am originally from the North so everything was down and if we hiked it rained and or snowed, so heavy rain gear too) In addition when I was a Boy scout we carried metal canteens, a hand axe, and lots of "extra's" compared to today's scouts.
Maybe I need to see Dr Phil :yes: to rid myself remembering hiking in the snow. ( DON"T DO IT !) (Watch where the boys go (substituted for Huskies) was our motto LOL
