Heavy Mode (Four bags with the pad on top of the rear rack):

Larger by volume because I hate packing origami and forgo compression sacks. Weight is about the same as most folks.

I'm really starting to think about getting a water pump because hauling a gallon of water + bottles up a 5000ft pass to a dry camp stinks.


Medium Mode (Two front with a pad and day pack on top of the rear):


I have never done credit card and don't have the gear for ultra-light.
