That said, 24kg even for short periods was probably far and above what the pack was designed for (25 times it's weight) and far and above what I'd be using it for. That's optimism for you!Eiran Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815995794189953513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26127907834394672.post-28914627647556793932010-11-09T16:01:34.613+01:002010-11-09T16:01:34.613+01:00Hello, thanks for doing this fine interview with o...Hello, thanks for doing this fine interview with one of the world's greatest thru-hikers.

He also has adapted to new and lighter gear, which cannot be said of everyone in his agegroup. Myself, I used approximately the same gear from 1985-2003 and thought that the greatest. Until I started experimenting with light gear, which was a revelation that has lowere my base weight from 18 kilos to 6 kilos since then.Jörgen Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527089654222009239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26127907834394672.post-53282139609104963682010-10-30T11:34:39.705+02:002010-10-30T11:34:39.705+02:00Thanks Jörgen for bringing this interview to a wid...Thanks Jörgen for bringing this interview to a wider audience.
