“Everything you need” is doing a lot of work here — the 10‑pound pack claim sounds nice, but it’s the cold, wet night scenario in the Apennines that would stress-test it most. When they say “dialed in, ” how much water capacity did they actually have between sources, and were they filtering or just betting on finding something drinkable? not sure about that detail.

“10-pound pack” always sounds cute until you’re cold, wet, and it’s getting dark up there. I’m with you on the water capacity thing — I wanna know if they had like 1L and vibes, or actually carried 2–3L between sources, and whether they filtered or just trusted fountains.

“10-pound pack” depends a lot on what they did for warmth, not just water.

That “10-pound pack” number is basically meaningless unless they say whether they counted worn weight (jacket, tights, poles, headtorch) or just what was in the vest.
