Ron -
Allow me to add my 2 cents.  From my perspective a major reason for
carrying a light pack is that there's a direct relationship between pack
weight and the probability of injury.   There are examples in the journals
on Wingfoots page - and unfortunately there'll be a lot more to come.

Walk softly - and lightly,
Jim
