He was carrying a ~60 pound pack and wearing steel toes caked in mud.
That is a good way to fuck up your knees, even if you are in shape.
>>678839Try limiting your pack down to something like 35 pounds or so and wearing trail runners/running shoes.
You probably don't need more than 35-40 pounds of stuff anyway and make sure the pack you are using has a nice padded hip belt and is adjusted to place most of the load on your hips.
Also, trail runners/running shoes are much lighter than boots and will dry out much faster when wet.
