Started the other day, putting 5 16.9 ounce bottles of water in there, with the regular "stuff" getting it to around 15 lbs now, want to gradually work up. If marines and soldiers can wear 100 lb packs in the heat of afghanistan I ought to be able to do 25 or 30 lbs eventually while I bike around the suburbs of Detroit.
