Alright you guys I love you but, are you guys carrying any food or a tent??? I just got back from the Whites in NH I went superlight with my khamsin 50 no tent for three days. I have an Atmos 65 and going light I could maybe do four days, and the Skareb come on I've seen this bag it smaller than my Atmos. A week maybe in the summer with no tent and little food. The INtention and the argon defintely, in fact the Argon is just nasty and in my opinion outclasses everything else.
