One of the companies just had their “Range Week” and they decided to stay out at the range for two days rather than hike out and back each day. The equipment they had to pack out there weighed 120lbs. Not a good time.
When we were up in the Arctic doing Mountain and Arctic warfare we had to carry that much weight all the time for days while out on patrol , living in snow holes every night while skiing.
Maybe why my back is out of whack today and my knees are shot.
