I've had success with the Mariposa at 36 pounds. Half was water and food for 7 days. The key is to put all the weight on the hip belt. The top of the pack straps only touch the front of my

I had a larger Flash (65 I think) which worked well for me but I wanted something lighter. I tried the Mariposa and found when I loaded it with about 30 pounds it felt like I was carrying a toddler

Was a bit South of there two weeks ago, Red's to jct with Rush Ck trl then out to Silver Lk. Not a single mosquito. And def no wasps. Nights are starting to get just a little colder.
