Not sure how carrying a light load forces one to hike 25 miles a day  
or that a heavy load indicates you are savoring the experience more.  
I think people are getting mixed up. A light load facilitates more  
miles. It doesn't require it.

I like going light because it leaves more room for books, chocolate  
and wine. Nothing better than to end the day laying down in my tent  
reading a trashy novel and eating a whole giant chocolate bar (with a  
spoon if it's melted).
