When I was 16 and weighed a little less than 200#, I had to carry 100# sacks of feed to cattle, and I'd carry 2 at once = 200# to save trips.Xanthro:You can get a hydration pack to go between the twins.![]()
The gear is heavy, I'm amazed at what many divers are capable of actually. It takes both physical and mental strength to carry 50% of your body weight in gear.
Today, weighing just over 200#, I can still carry half my body weight fine even with my knees, but someone has to hold the boat or me steady. It's he climbing out I hate. :14:
