Man. 36lb pack? I packed in 22lb for the tropical travel Instructable. Where did I gain 14lbs? Half of that is the laptop and charger, and some of it is cold-weather clothes, but I think way too much of it is books. I'm leaving the huge Lonely Planet guidebooks home, having printed out selections of their "Pick and Mix Chapters" PDF versions, but the price I paid at Kinko's for those (even printed 4-up, 50c/page is outrageous) makes me think I'm going to have to invest in an eBook reader for my next trip.
