[QUOTE="flewitheagles, post: 601927, member: 30394"] I'm not sure how others might deal with my particular situation concerning that "10%" rule. I was doing quite fine, thank you, with a quite heavy (by most standards), 22 lb pack for my journey in central Portugal. I had planned on a side trip (I enter and exit Europe by way of Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany - a perk available to retired US military) in Germany so I carried a bit more weight - and trained accordingly. Quite soon after I arrived and was on my way (about 100 K into my pilgrimage) a very generous acquaintance provided me with a vintage bottle of Port.... Not one that I should drink alone so I chose to carry that bugger all the way across Portugal, Spain, France, Germany and the eastern USA.... There ARE very good reasons for having a heavier pack! I was none the worse for it, either! [Oh, and I would do it again in a "heartbeat" for another bottle of that port shared with family and friends] :D [/QUOTE]
