Military speak: To Hump, take every thing you really need and stuff it in a small space, then take every thing your Squad Leader, Platoon SGT, Platoon Leader, Company Commander, Battalion Commander, Brigade Commander, Division Commander, and Army TRADOC, thinks you need and carry it for days up steep slopes in 100 degree weather.
The result is the Grunt, one who humps, based on the sound of a Soldier or Marine picking up his pack. In a really good unit every thing above Platoon SGT is ignored.
