Thanks all.  

I'll probably look for a high-end school pack.  My stove pack holds gas, stoves, funnel, grate (when in QP), rope, fire starting stuff, trowel, TP, matches.  

Then I have a day pack, another small pack, that holds first aid kit, nalgene bottle, binoculars, tp, bug juice and other misc, and food for the day.  

On the last trip, a 14-day affair, halfway thru we re-supplied (via the god-awful Angleworm Portage.  In the process, I combined the stove pack with the "day pack" and it seemed to work.  

Anyway, I'd love to be able to be able to single portage someday, but in 20 years, I've always double portaged.  Maybe when I solo next year, but probably not even then!
