Less shit than most carry now.

It was just bulkier.

we'd carry anything from 60-95 lbs, and that would last us anything from a week to a month depending how light we pack.

a lot of us would cache food on the way out if we were coming back the same way. That lightens the load a bit.

Honestly looks like about the same weight I carry on long trips. Things just look heavier because being compact wasn't really a necessary demand for gear makers.
These days, compact gear is a #1 selling point.

Camping hammocks hadn't been invented yet so aprox. 2/3rds of the packweight was the tent.

My great grandfather used a storebought silk hammock canoe camping around the everglades between WW1 and WW2.

They've been around for forever. Certainly at least since the late 80's, when that pic was taken.

Yeah, same here. I'll tolerate something being reasonably heavy so long as it can pack down tight. I'd rather carry a 30lb pack that's close to my back and tight that a 20lb pack that's loose and flabby. (Just for example- those aren't my actual packweights before anyone starts coming at me w a hardon)

I never could understand how people carry shit like their sleeping bag by just a strap or two attached to their pack. Just swinging around and shit.

They didn't have game carts, but they did have better access to pack animals.
