Today my husband and I headed to the trails in the hills behind our home for the maiden hike with my backpack. I filled it with my weights and gym- things to about 23 pounds with water. When I picked it up, I thought, “WOW, I am going to be in trouble. This feels like 40-50 pounds.”
As soon as I got it on I knew two things….my pack (Osprey Aura 50) is a perfect fit, and 23 pounds on your back feels a lot less than carry 23 pounds like a sack. We climbed through the forest and ended up going about 3 ½ miles. I felt great, learned a great deal about my pack and all the adjustments I can make “on the fly” and the importance of packing correctly and evenly.
So excited to follow your steps <3 <3 <3
josh and I are excited to follow your adventure
