You mentioned in another comment that you were carrying around 60 lb. That sounds like a lot to me (my parents do extended hikes and never go above 25 lb per person), how come you have that much luggage?

Thanks for the answer.

Yeah I guess my parents only go hiking during the warmer months, so that's a lot of clothes they don't need to carry.

Did you get rid of some things along the way that you noticed you didn't need?
