>>2300752that's half my fucking bodyweight
i agree that fitness is huge, i went on a 75 mile hike w a friend and pleaded with him to workout and get a base level of fitness first but he had his pack weight down to like 25lbs and he's 6' ~170 so he thought he was good to do it off the couch
by the end of the 75 miles my friend's feet were 50% bigger and he had stress fractures throughout
my pack was around 35-40 at the time and i was 145lb@5'9"
but even if you're fit af shit catches up with you, and in general having less weight = more enjoyment hiking
don't be this guy
