Hello again! And thank you so much for this, really means a lot to me.
I think all those years of far too heavy packs were hard to shake, even now, if I put on a pack and it feels like I'm not going to struggle, or need constant rest, it makes me worry I've forgotten something!
You're right about the smaller chunks; I certainly intend to post a mixture of long reads, with smaller pieces too and probably some pretty simple photography posts too. I have rather a lot to write and share!
I'm sure you've got better at cutting things out of yer pack, actually you just reminded me of the time I was hitching and picked up by a semi-professional powerlifter who liked hiking, he found the concept of a 'too heavy pack' somewhat amusing.
It's a good place to share stuff this for sure, I look forward to more!
