This is a more accurate depiction of my physical state during the hike. Right after we finished packing for the trip, the guys helped me put my pack on and I confidentally and excitedly did up all the buckles and tightened the various straps. Then to my dismay (and quite evidentally, theirs as well) I nearly fell over backwards as soon as they let go of the pack. For the next few minutes, I tottered on my feet, cursing gravity and the need to eat food, as the pack was stuffed full of it. Fortunately, I was able to adjust to the weight and we set off - a few hours later however, the guys removed the tent out of my pack and transferred it to Alex.
