The first time I took #7 backpacking I let her pack her own bag, then went through it to pull the unneccessary stuff. I swear to god, she had a full quart bottle of makeup remover in addition to her complete makeup kit, which I can tell you gives my camera bag a run for it's money in terms of weight and bulk. I told her it was ok, the bears would think she smelled tastier and would stop to eat her first. tv
