Most of my hiking experience is in the Pacific Northwest, but I've also thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (2007) and the Continental Divide Trail (2011).
I would call myself a lightweight packer, but not ultralight. My packs for the PCT and CDT were around 15lbs without food, water or fuel. Weekend trips I often have a total pack weight less than 20lbs (skin out).

What kind of mementos, if any, am I allowed to collect from State and National parks in small quantities? Cool... I think the two answers sum it up nicely - ethically, take nothing. Legally, take nothing ;) |

Do bag liners add the same warmth value to all sleeping bags? I second everyone that questions the magic warming power of liners (especially the thin silk-type ones). Waterproof liners (aka vapour barriers) have a place in winter camping, but beyond that, insulated liners would be the only sure-fire way I can see to increase warmth! |

May hiking in Eastern California I don't have a positive answer, but the Sierras are usually buried in snow til mid-June. So I would look into your backup areas more closely! |

Rappelling in the Rain @DavidR - good answer. It rains a lot where I am, and wet ropes haven't made any difference to my rapping experience... |
