Yeah you have to hump everything you need when you hike and every pound counts. When I went to Philmont I had 3-4 quarts of water on me every day and water is the heviest thing you carry. You only need one or two sets of clothes and rain gear which gives you more room for crew gear, food, pad, and if your in the military ammo, more ammo, cleaning supplies, optics and a whole slew of other neccitees.
