When the pack gets much higher than the top of my head, it’s time to purge it.
This time around, most of the bulk at the top is my winter coat, so there’s only so much bulk I can purge. But I’ve been on the road 4-1/2 months now, so I know what I do and don’t need, so I can be a little more ruthless in the purge.
