I didn’t think about splitting the weight, that’s a good point.
Yeah during my short hike I could tell when I was loaded with water or when I was empty haha.
I appreciate the write up! I definitely plan on doing a super short hike which will basically just be a test of the gear, get her a feel for it. Then I have a short hike in mind after that, about an 8 hour drive to get to, not bad.
I feel this deeply. I’ve not been diagnosed, but it’s a problem.
