I adjust my habits if I'm off target by more than 2 lbs. 10 lbs is the weight of a gallon of milk plus a large block of cheese. Or a 4 season expedition tent and a sleeping pad. Or a reasonably stout set of telemark skis and bindings. Carry that much extra up the side of a mountain if it's not totally necessary? No thank you...
