before I plan the weight of what I carry , I like to plan the route.
if i'm off into the unknown id rather carry a very light pack.
but if I know where im going I will base my pack according to the terrain.
Luckily we go camping often, and we don't own a car so we carry everything.
were pretty much intune with what we can carry.
obviously the weather can be a limiting factor too.
its surprising how much even a little weight can affect balance on slippery ground.
For me balance seems to be the greatest factor.
if everything is well balanced on you its a lot easier to manage.
but if you've got uneven weight attached to you its a nightmare.
