Not sure I get that one. Care to explain?
IMO: Extra weight always matters. This Summer we were sending home stuff like a deck of cards, cutting down on clothing to the absolute minimum, and basically sending home everything we weren't using no matter how small after the 5th or 6th mountain pass. Every pound eliminated made a noticeable difference.
