Ryan and Nicole,
Lightweight packing is not about reducing the burden of weight.
It’s about human performance.
An aircraft that is designed to be light weight requires less fuel and can either travel farther for the same fuel or cruise at a faster speed than its' pre-trimed predecessor, known as the thrust to weight ratio.
As related to us humans, the thrust to weight ratio means that with less weight we can move through time and space with greater speed or conserve energy and travel farther.
I learned about not being a “beast of burden” thirty-seven years ago.
Lightweight packing is a means to an end not an end in itself.
The end is improved human performance.
Lightweight packing is just one means to that end.
Aspects of human performance relate to techniques of bipedal motion and breathing, fuel and supplements, load balancing, load placement and issues of clothing and footwear not commonly known.
