At 17 pounds I bet it's got a bunch of stuff you don't really need on a trail ride... I don't carry my purse, keys (except the truck keys) money, wallet, etc.
Yeah, I was just thinking I could strip it down or better yet buy another just for riding. I don't need the make up and medicine cab, the calendar, clip board, The purse, the notebook, the WW stuff, the 20 dollars in change. the umbrella, the tape recorder, a dozen pens. I would keep my camera, a small Bible, my glasses, my knife and my cell phone though.
