Anne et al, Take a look at these excellent blogs: http://www.whileoutriding.com and http://thelazyrando.wordpress.com. Some of you no doubt know about them already. There's a lot of good info on the pros and cons of bikepacking type set ups. I've learned a lot and gone from being very skeptical--oh what's the point of that-I used panniers on the great divide-etc and so forth to thinking thee bikepacking set ups have great merit. But, really, of course, whatever works.
