Everytime i empty my pack to clean it, i’m amazed at how many tiny, useful things i have in there. all this plus 100oz water and pack weighs 12 lbs. I have had more including 2 litters of water (70oz) , more food (5oz), armor (2lbs), and a dry-lite shirt (4oz). It was bursting at the seams and weighed about 19lbs.
Beckie made fun of me while taking this photo, saying my obsessiveness reached a whole new level. i was just curious.
B: What are you gonna do with this?
Me: Dunno. Probably blog about it.

That picture resembles my bike, minus the stan’s, brush, comb, and knife (mine is smaller rather than my heavier Gerber).
I have a pump that doubles as a shock, to be honest, I’d rather try to just use twizzlers and my regular pump than deal with the combo shock/pump.
twizzlers?
sheesh you’re right the Gerber is 6oz – all i really need are pliers and knife.
