I don't get it either? Here's a list, as best I can recall:

backpack--Eureka "Sovereign III" 7400? or 7500? cubic inches don't know
weight

O.k., there's your problem. Backpacks abhor a vacuum.

Somewhere around here I've still got an old Kelty Serac (circa 1975). If
memory serves, it's got something like 4400 C.I. capacity. This was more
than enough room to carry WAY more **** than I ever needed for a week to ten
days in the field.

Well, yeah, but how big and heavy are a single change of Barbie clothes
and a Malibu Stacy Happy Lil' Cheesehead Fondue Set? Heck, surgically
remove your ego and give you an enema, and he could pack you yourownself
in a snack-sized zipper bag with room to spare...
