Might he have been referring to a 30 lb pack of plews?

Subject: MtMan-List: reading and wondering
I was reading over the weekend in "A life wild and perilous" by Hafen(?) I
believe, and he talked about John Coulter taking a trip with "only his
rifle and a 30 lb pack", of course there was no reference and I realize this
isn't a "primary source", but wondered if anybody on this list knew of where
this might have originated.
Like what kind of pack, and what made up the 30 pounds? Also, I didn't
notice any discussion of that pack being on a horse, just that he may have
had the assistance of some of the local tribes to get him through the
winter.
Haven't posted in some time, but have enjoyed reading whatever comes over
the list list.
