So I have to ask, what kind of pack do you guys use for carrying lots of water? I've been trying to get lighter, and I've had the epiphany (I'm a little slow) that no matter how light I get, I'll still be carrying at least 10# of water. I went to Guadelupe Mountains National Park yesterday, and tested my Mariposa Plus and Exos 46. Both were under 10# before water, and 25# with. The Mariposa felt great, except for the feeling it needs load lifters to pull it back. I can probably fix that by loading it differently. I could not get the Exos to stay up on my hips, and I thought the super thin belt would cut me in two. Did I screw up by not going with a ULA?
