Not quite ready for UL.

Well, I've wimped out, on UL-ing this weekend, that is. After conferring w/ some folks on the BPL board, I was advised that the Mountain Laurel Designs Prophet, on which my homemade UL pack is based, might not be suitable for the 20 lb load. So I borrowed my DW's 55L Camptrails internal frame pack which is still a fairly light 2.8 lbs. And my total w/out food/fuel/water is still 18.3 lbs. Hmmm, its starting to creep up as I keep finding stuff that I'm forgetting.
