[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2382222, member: 105681"] I carried a 10 lb 25-06 Winchester model 70 for miles and miles in my 20's. Young dumb and strong as bull, but that was my only rifle. I also hauled hay and cut 75-100 cords of firewood for 12 years to help pay bills after my day job. In my 40's now, I work smarter and always look for the most efficient way to accomplish tasks. No more packing bucks on my back whole like in this photo. Now I quarter animals and carry 7.5 lb rifles. Everything punishing you did to your body in your teens and 20's gets revealed in a painful way in your 40's. Knees, back, shoulders and my hands have taken a beating over the years. I appreciate my Kifaru pack and Crispi boots. Yes, even my boots and clothing get weighed and used accordingly. It's Hell getting older. My Grandpa always said don't get old....lift lighter loads whenever possible and wear ear plugs. You'll thank me later. Man, was he right!! [/QUOTE]
