Again, thanks for all the responses about bike selection. After much research on not only the bike, but where I'm going to ride and what I'm going to carry, I believe I'm headed for a hardtail. The choices seem to be endless and I hoping after some test rides I can narrow the pool down some.
When I make a selection I'll be sure and post a picture. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the feedback on the question. I did some bike shopping yesterday and looked at a number 29" hardtails. I am going to try a quick overnight trip with my current ride and try and pack it ultra light. The attached photo is from this past November when I headed south on the Natchez Trace Trail (very-paved).

I've done plenty of roadie touring with panniers or a trailer, but the idea of going off road and light is something I've got to try. My MTB is a Giant NRS3 full suspension ride and after checking most of the topics on this forum I's still trying to figure out if a hard tail is the way to go. I'm in flat Houston, Tx and plan on heading to CO to doing some bikepacking this summer. With all of that, here's my question. Is it easier/more efficient to carry gear on a bike without rear suspension? Thanks.

Great site, fantastic info, even the logo is right. How 'bout offering t-shirts or window stickers with the logo on it. I've got an IMBA, USA Randonnuer stickers on the back window of the truck and I've got room for another.
