Whole different world out there with the just backpacking stuff now a days. I'm down to 24 lbs for 3 nights with some luxury stuff like a chair , coffee press and shoes to switch into for water crossings. Can do 15 miles a day easy peasy.
In my Army days, I would have stuck my arm in a fry vat for three comfortable nights on 24 pounds. I think my web gear weighed that much.
