Leap frogging means humping twice the distance, for twice the time. You may be able to do it though, but I think it is tactically unsound. Hard to speed reload from a fanny pack, too.

You are correct Sir, in that it does (and it is) sound like a lot. I tend to do that, "over prepare". That's why I love these threads. Let's me rethink and reevaluate my "plan(s)"
One thing I did neglect to mention is, along the routes that I've more or less looked at, there will be plenty of four legged transportation that I'd be passing. Aside from deteriorating political polices, Colorado is also know for it's huge horse populations. I know hangings are too good for horse thieves, but ..... This is one of "The Reaper's" famous survival threads. One that gets one thinking, so it's pretty much, all bets are off. It's survival of the fittest time baby.
This is the bag I was referring to ....

Yeah I called it a fanny pack, but I used to wear mine over the shoulder so it would hang on my hip, and when I did wear it as a "fanny pack", I could always pull it around to the front. I used to use it as a quick medical grab bag, when I worked stand-by.
Yes of course the (my) load would change with the weather. I went with thinking what I would grab at "This particular time". Currently here, it's partly cloudy, temps in the mid 80's, lows in the 50's, and continued to be like this for the next 5 days. Now turning to sports ..... Aw crap, sorry.
Didn't even think what it would be like in December, or March, or October, ect.
Thank you for pointing that out.
