Packing one’s ruck is a science. Many never learn to do it properly. Ounces count. If you won’t need it, don’t bring it.

Harry, The last multi-day hike I was on (5 days) was the backcountry traverse in Gros Morne Newfoundland. I had the biggest and heaviest pack because I was lugging camera gear. I had a 65L pack and it weighed 18Kilos (about 40 pounds).Oh Harry.
A ‘click’ is a kilometer universally, why did you convert 20 clicks to 30Km? It kinda proves you are just talking nonsense.
Also, whilst I agree many American men may well weigh over 200lbs generally that is because their diet has been sabotaged for decades and that isn’t lean muscle, heck it isn’t even muscle! The vast majority of Americans I see couldn’t lift 100lbs let alone hike with it, that is why most houses don’t have stairs and all apartments have elevators!
The cams he's talking about were out in the early to mid 1970s. Harry may be a very lonely old guy and needs friends. He's older than I, that's for sure. I'd never even touched a cat until late 1981. Wonderful Christmas present from my girlfriend at the time. Quite unexpected... getting a pet.[sarcasm]Your knowledge of cameras is only exceeded by your knowledge of hiking.[/sarcasm]
Why don’t you just give up with your stream of bullshit claims and go away? You have become the mosquito of CR.....
it CAN and DEFINITELY WAS done at 20 clicks (30 km) a day for weeks straight!
I get what you are saying, but you are generalizing, we are not all overweight or weak. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requires elevators in apartment buildings and there are quite a few houses (millions) with stairs that fit people run up and down. Here in California we like single story homes that open to the yard. We all could work more on our diet and be nicer to one another concerning cameras and politics. Harrys an ass.Oh Harry.

You sir, are spouting gibberish that any hiker would laugh at. Ok, you have a picture of hills taken from a road..… Let's see one of you somewhere you had to work to get to.

Living in Munich for 3 years, never heard about its existence.
Will probably never hear about it again.
Oh Harry.

Bavaria? Tea? "Enjoying" tea in Bavaria? You have definitely never drunk good tea.Then you have TRULY NOT BEEN to or enjoyed Bavaria UNTIL you've had Asbach Uralt straight up, on ice or added to hot tea and coffee!

A "click" is UNIVERSALLY equal ONE MILE = 1600 metres here in North America!
What was their foot care regimen?
Harry, in 40 years of back country travel I have yet to see a single person with 100 pound load in their pack You are either the most inexperienced person that I have ever run into or you are a liar and this is just one more pile of bullshit that you have made up on something that you know nothing about
So.... 15 minutes from Vancouver and you die? Can't you order pizza from the Firewood Café and get it delivered?
Dunno. Here in Bavarian Alps, it would have been a day trip with a city-sized backpack.This is our winter expedition gear so you understand just how much you actually REQUIRE in such terrian:
I think Canon must be seriously lacking if this is all we get to discuss in a 1DX3 thread! Harry is worse than a mosquito since they don't usually generate pages of feedback.
