We didn’t get to go backpacking much this year. Just once to Whitney submit via Cottonwood Pass during the summer. I was getting lazy and been on a jeep a few times to Death Valley and to Canyonlands. We did shed more weight this year, but we definately need more work to get the base weight down. I find it harder to do this traveling with two children. Of course each year we can dump more stuff into the kids bag, lol.
Here is a video link to our summer Whitney hike out of Horseshoe meadow:

And while I am sharing, a video of Canyonlands White Rim Trail on a jeep. Far from BPL but I did notice that no matter how much more room you have, it’s always a struggle to carry only what you need:
