I just went on a 9 day trip on the PCT with scouts, I carried a Six Moons Design Starlite (4,200 cu. In.) w/ stays 30 oz. and all my food, cooking gear, fishing gear my son did carry our 41 oz. Double Rainbow Tarp Tent. I did carry a large first aid kit
+ because of the scouts, so my pack came in at 35 lbs. Do more research and teach the scouts how to pack and what they need to do this and become smart backpackers themselves. I am an Eagle Scout and an assistant scoutmaster and have taken it upon myself to enlighten the scouts on light weight backpacking.

> Hello All, I am going to buy a new Gregory backpack. I be using this when I hike the JMT, PCT or the AT trail. In my JMT looks like there will be about 7 to 8 days on the trial before I get resupply my self. The Gregory Baltoro 70 weight in at 5lb 9 oz and holds 4,471 cu. in.(70 l) and the Gregory Whitney 95 wight in at 6lb 9 oz.and holds 5,797 cu.in.(95 l). What my fear is if I get the Baltoro there might not be enought space to hold all my food I will need. What I would like to know from all of your for those of you that goes out for 4 to 5 days and 7 to 8 day trips what is your pack capacity. Thank you for all the help you could pass my way. ED
