Backpacking all depends in what your goals are. If you want to go 6 miles a day and spend more time in camp then heavier equipment may work. Heavy equipment needs a pack capable of toting it.
I can't carry more than 25 # in my pack. But most of my gear is really lightweight. But I enjoy covering more miles than spending time in camp.
Best purchase is a Sawyer Squeeze filter. $40 and will filter fast enough for ten people to use. Only 3ounces.
