This was my point in response to part 1 of the article. For the military with all kinds of support and resupply and their mission demands a heavy load of essential tactical gear makes sense. For an individual or small group without all the expensive support structure and without the huge mission demands there needs to be some common sense changes. I liken this to the stories we have all read about immigrants going West carrying all their household goods in their wagon only to incapacitate their animals and force them to dump their goods along side the road.
A better way is to look at what American Indians carried on a hunt or to war and to also use the high tech ultra light gear that is available. Create a tactical gear load that is closer to 20 lbs than it is to the 55lb to 90lb military gear load.
Not saying it is easy or doesn’t require tough choices but it is necessary. If you are a big strapping 18-20 something guy a gear load of 55+ lbs doesn’t seem like a big deal. If you are 50 or 60 the load you carry makes the difference between arriving at your destination or not. IMHO there are two kinds of outdoor folks. Those who think they can carry everything they need and those who learned the hard way that they cannot.
