Here's a shot taken of my pack while backpacking in Torres del Paines national park in Patagonia:

Whether in the US or overseas, this has been my standard pack for multi-day hiking. Visible at the bottom of the pack are Teva sandals for stream crossing and a tent and ground-cover/poncho is on the right. A tripod and air mattress is on the left with a fuel bottle attached next to the mattress. A map case with compass is at the top of the pack. This particular excursion was for a week so the pack contained a weeks provisions (freeze-dried meals), stove, water purification pump, down sleeping bag, personal care supplies, 35mm and Pentax 67II and film...etc. Two 1 liter water bottles in insulated containers are attached at the sides.
I camped the night before at a base camp for the assent and had supper with several Chileans. The weather didn't look promising at the time but at 2:30am the awoke me saying the weather was right and sure enough the stars were out so I saddled-up and arrived at the summit at dawn.

Your setup looks pretty efficient for hauling a 6x7 too. A funny thing for me is in my younger days I could go backpacking and haul half the weight than what I'd take today. Even my day hikes I seem to over-pack. Must be an old age thing or I have accumulated more stuff that I think I can't live without.

Really nice photos. Yeah, I haul a small digital camera more and more on my hikes these days.

That is why I need to get my Rolleicord fixed -- light camera...much lighter than my Rollieflex 2.8 that need to have worked on also.
Great hiking photos all around!!

Those are sweet, @orgraph
I took my 500C/M loaded with 100ACR along on this Hiking trip in the Snoqualmie National Forest, Washington. Each shot is at a different elevation as we hiked up the trail

Yes, really great hiking photos everyone!
This is one of the images I captured of the Torres that morning: http://www.spiritsofsilver.com/yahoo...1542_large.jpg
At the top the wind becomes a major factor as the day progresses. I found a small cave formed by large boulders in which gave me protection from the wind and a view of the Torres which I photographed the constantly changing scene with clouds obscuring and snow blowing until almost noon at which time the wind reached to seemingly hurricane strength. I was unable to stand against it so I made my way over the backside blocking the wind and picked my way around the circumference until I could get back down the way I came in. The constantly changing weather and wind is the main impediment which prevented the Torres being successfully climbed until recently.
This was the only time that I can remember taking two camera systems on a backpacking trip. Usually I only take one, usually the P67II, which requires a tripod.

I've posted this before but it belongs here. Sunset at Camp Muir on Mt. Rainier in Washington. You'd grab a bite to eat and hopefully a couple hours of sleep before getting up at 1:00AM to finish the climb.
Pentax 6x7, 55/4
