It's not like it's technical diving; two of everything is carrying caution a bit too far.

Solo on my second crossing and it only took me three OLT's to get there with my load...

Touché, RonK! I'd been toying with going lighter for a good while. But the clincher was when I found myself turned turtle (so to speak) with a 20+kg pack, and a friend picked it up and said, "Tortoise, you have to do something about this weight!"
Actually I forgot to put in the unknown number of people i my last post but I do enjoy some solo trips, and it only took 32 years of bushwalking to get there.
