I'm going hiking up a mountain later this evening and want to know which way you'd log it...I'm gonna have a small bag on my back with a hand towel and an extra water bottle in it and probably my wallet and phone, and I'll have a water bottle in my hand as well. It's not gonna really be much weight at all...would you go ahead and log it as "hiking carrying a <10 lb load" or just as "hiking cross country"?

    If it's a smartphone, download the free app Runkeeper. It'll track your distance, speed, climb & give you a pretty accurate calories burned based on your weight/age/etc.

    Then when you go to track, you can edit the calories to match.

    Either one will work. They are similar. I use the "carrying weight" one, but then my pack is about 25 lbs.
