This simply isn't fair. I have this really embarrassing bulge.

I just finished (minus water) packing my GoLite Pinnacle for my weekend at Moorman's River (SNP). So far I've topped out at a meager 14 pounds, but the bloody pack is still huge. It's nearly as big as when I packed for an early spring, seven day trip earlier this year!

Do I need to feed my pack water pills? Put it on a toning exercise routine? How can I drop so much weight in my pack but seemingly no bulk? No fair, no fair, no fair.
