>>2562341> >80L big boy packsEh, if it's for you, it's for you. I used to have pic related, and my scout troop would clear 20-30 miles a day. We'd go out for a few days and sometimes had week or two long trek. We just didn't know anything about weight management and trekking poles, just a bunch of young dudes with the skills and fitness level to be out there that long. We joke around about how'd we would've been pretty speedy if we knew then what we know now.
>>2562458About 2-3 years ago I took an 80L pack and maxed out my weight to something like 50 pounds, and hiked 67 miles in three days. I was doing lots of cardio and weight training, the only problem is the weather took a bad turn and I couldn't keep my feet dry. So yea, it's doable, just no preferable. I have a 50L pack and like to keep it below 20lbs nowadays.
>>2562625Not the same person you are replying to, but when I got out of the military, I went on a couple long hikes with big weight in a big pack. I dunno why you're being a miserable faggot about it.
>>2562628>several people eventually became crippled because of it.Calling bullshit. The only people I knew that actually were ever injured were the ladies, and it was usually some kind of leg/hip injury. It was either that or someone that was fat, and everything in the military is going to suck and probably cripple you if you stay fat.
>>2572098That's a great pack, ALICE packs are great in general.
