[QUOTE="pods8, post: 984199, member: 83233"] This. In my experience I can haul up to a certain threshold of weight and move steadily for a mile or two at a shot (before a standing break) on flats yet if you add 5 or 10 more muscles are fatiguing out after a few hundred yards. Last season elk after 5 hard days of hunting (ie I lost 5lb during that period) and finally putting one down that threshold was about 65lb of pack weight turf for my body. 60-65lb and I could keep moving, 70+ nope. So when you factor in 10lb of pack and gear that meant ~50lb of meat. Had to pack out 200lb worth of meat 5miles between 2 of us so we got first hand experience in how shuffling a back strap or such makes a difference. I've been working my legs a lot more since and I hope for that threshold to be increased come this Oct/Nov. [/QUOTE]
