[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1862526, member: 67552"] I think maybe alot of us are just not the man you are msmith57. Waaaay back in the day as a salty Oh3 in my beloved Corps (this where the old man, back in my day story starts) I would live outside for weeks...and weeks at a time. Me and my gal ALICE would stroll through the country side together day and night. I always made her carry the food, most of the water, the extra ammo, smoke, claymores, det-cord, and God forbid every now and then the effing radio. Depending on the hunt we'd roll out with 40 to 105 pounds. Add six full mags, 2 grenades, first aid, e-tool, gas mask, MOPP gear, kevlar, and a flak jacket so you wouldn't get hurt and it was a enough to keep you warm while you walked. Nowadays when I stroll out I still roll with ALICE. She still carries food (Usually 2 MREs) and beverage (about a gallon of water), meat bags, a fire kit, and a kit to stop serious bleeding. A small saw, a lined poncho and an extra pair of sox and shirt. I also strap a little grill grate on. I carry the rifle, ammo, binos, knife and compass. I bring a phone, but only for the camera usually. Now ALICE is short and don't tell her I said this, but she is fat. We can easily pack out a large Mule buck mostly boned out with cape and still keep food in her (saddle bags). Pack starts out at about 25 pounds and If I do my part and eat a meal and drink my water I'm down to 17 or 18 pounds at the end of the day plus game. Why not have it? Just cause you have to carry it?
