Nobody just puts on a 60kg backpack and walks around in the Himalayas, unless they were already physically strong. I put a 35kg backpack to do a 4km walk, and I am straining in the back and in the legs by the time I get home from walking a flat course (save for the stairs at the overpass). It takes me a minimum of a week's worth of walking around with the backpack before I can walk quite comfortably. I would be sure that after a couple weeks of rucking with that amount of weight, I could add another 5kg of weight and not be too bothered. However, I could not add another 20kg of weight on top of that and be able to walk all that freely. And to think of anyone who could walk around with 60kg on their backs whilst being 3.8km in elevation over a terrain that might not be all that flat, I could probably call "bullshit" on that. Whilst I would imagine that there are those that could do that, they would be the muscular and well-trained people who could ruck that amount. I would say that they would be 100kg of muscle to be able to ruck that much.
Listen fool. I've worked physically hard and very heavy jobs most of my life. I am still muscular (modelled nude for Artists at 40 years of age) and now about 90kg, while before when in my late 20's and my 30's I was 115kg weight (6'2 height), very muscular from the work I did - because I never bothered to pay others to make me 'work out' in gyms. Etc, etc, etc.
In essence. Don't project your failings onto me and call me a bullshyter because you never actually had to climb around the Himalayas for over 6 months with a Man-Pack of 60kg.
Go back to eating your cheeseburgers and drinkin your grog bucko!
