I'll second the comments on the ULA pack.? I have a Catalyst, but for most trips I've got the weight down enough so the Circuit would work as well and I could save another 1/2 pound. For my last trip, 5 nights with a BV500, I was at 26 pounds including the pack without water.? I usually was carrying 1 to 2 quarts, so 30 pounds max.? If I were to do the JMT again, like I did the first time with only one resupply I would probably add another 3-5 pounds of food. I find, even fully loaded the Catalyst to be pretty comfortable and it easily holds everything.? I find it best if I put my stove and cup inside my bear can otherwise they are a bit awkward to pack.? If the can is too full, I transfer some food out to the outside pocket for travel.? I load tent, then horizontal bear can, sleeping bag, and then 2 small stuff sacks(air mattress and clothing), plus my Chair Zero.? Miscellaneous items(first aid kit, maps, compass, pocket knife, toiletries, etc) go in zip lock bags in the outside pocket).
