Thanks, Spoke! I'm relieved to know that even someone who lives at altitude and hikes mountains on a regular basis will have trouble. Then again- that frightens me a little bit.I will be working VERY hard this off-season to be as ready as I can. Great advice. Thanks!
I wound up getting this Go Lite bag. It fits good and when loaded with 20 lbs- it feels really good. I know I need to get another 20 in there, but so far so good (I've started walking with it already). I got fitted at a backpacking store (telling them that I probably wouldn't buy it there because I wanted to be honest- and they were very kind so I wound up buying my hiking boots from them), so I had an idea how the pack should fit.
The capacity is about 3800 cubic inches, but appears it will fit everything I need with a little room to spare (for the extra gallon of water in addition to the gallon I have in there).
