Just a kilometer up the hill from my house. And I ain't packing it again just to find out. :-)
But really it did not feel very heavy. Had it not been straight up, even I could have tabbed that load for miles, i I got to choose the speed of march.

Also I packed for a comfortable sleep, not for roughing it.

Ha!
What if the wife was to give you an unexpected pass!? It should be packed and ready for immediate deployment. "Break Glass" style!

The molle bag and nalgene bag is always packed. Alll I have to do is fill them with water and I am off.
The rest need sto be unpacked as they need to be stored that way, or they will not work very well. Sleeping bags gets taken out and hanged, self inflatable mat stored rolled out
under our bed etc.

Allso I do not like to stress. I enjoy packing up, and make sure everything is to order before I go out...which reminds me I have forgotten to oil the hatchet after last time out...

My first wild camping trip last week was a bit of a let down because of the weight of my pack. I'm not exactly sure how heavy it was but it felt way to heavy for me, probably because I'm out of shape at the moment.

The pack I used was the Vango Pumori 60+10 which is 2.55kg by itself, then there was my sleeping bag which is the Vango Nitestar which is 1.6kg, My tent Wild Country Zephyros 1 which is 1.5kg, Trangia 27-6 1kg, then there was things like 2ltr platypus, extra clothes food, tools, personal items, power pack for phone, water proofs and other things. I'm not sure of total weight yet but the trail was up hill all the way so it felt like I had a elephant on my back.

I'm planning on getting a smaller/lighter pack like a Osprey exos, a lighter sleeping bag like down based one by Rab, maybe a smaller/lighter cook kit and try and reduce size/weight where I can so I can enjoy the walk more in future. I'll definitely keep the Trangia set though as its just awesome, will probably keep it for when a friend comes and can share the pack weight.

Are you sure you got your pack packed correctly and harness adjusted right?
Else, up hill is a struggle in any case, specially if you are out of shape. That is bitter experience speaking :-)

Yeah it was packed correctly. Not 100% sure on if I had it adjusted right but I think so as it felt comfortable at first, weight seemed to be on hips but just seemed too much after a while.

I think I'm going to try and weigh it in parts and see what it totals to get a better idea. However I still think I want to reduce size of pack/weight etc as it would just make the trip more enjoyable either way.

Whenever I do that I just fill up with other things that are "nice to have"....
