Whoa this is wild! I literally just emailed hyperlite to ask them how going from the SW55 to the SW70 allows them to go from a marketed load carry capacity of "40lbs" to "60lbs" (When comparing the packs...they look identical in terms of structure/features). I'm carrying rock climbing gear these days and I'm getting into the 45+lbs range. If I need to carry an ice axe + cramps, and more food - could easily get into 50lbs of gear. But to have a 70L pack without load lifters?! Good lord. Didn't even notice this on their website photos! I'm calling major BS on a load carry capacity of 60lbs for this pack....maybe literally the bag/material/construction/seams wouldn't tear with that kind of weight...but good luck getting your body through 2, 3, 4 days worth of hauling with 60lbs of gear in this pack...no thank you. Thank you for pointing this out! Pack is off my list and you saved me a bunch of time.

My wife and I just did this trip and we got screwed. Right as we got to the lake, the trail just ended with seemingly nowhere to go. We bushwhacked both sides of the outlet for about an hour and could only find a few small fire rings, but nowhere to setup the tent. Would love to know where abouts that campsite is you stayed at. We ended up heading back to the big crossing as we saw a few campsites there on our way in. Really bummed we missed out.

I have used this float tube 3 or 4 times last year. the Wilderness Lite exceeded my expectations by far. All three pockets are large, you can fit clothes, shoes, drinks in the back pocket and whatever else you need on the side pockets. I will say you will want to get the ice out seat, which will allow you to sit above the water somewhat. I am 150LBS and it works great for me, my friend was 240 last year and he didnt think it was that bad even for him. Overall a great float tube for backpacking trips, I recomended it.
