I am doing some training for a walk in Tassie a bit later on and have been doing my usual graduated start, currently with 2 x 1.5 litre jugs of weight-water plus whatever else I would take on a short day walk, which includes another 1 litre to drink.
The other night I put the training pack on when we walked the dog but didn't realise it was 1 kg lighter without the water bottle - it felt like I was carrying nothing!
Today, I put the water bottle back in so it was normal, and added 1kg worth of cans of chickpeas. That extra 1 kg on the same local bushwalk we did 3 days ago felt heavy!
I am surprised how much difference just 1 kg makes.
