How much are women able to carry?
- Thread starter Erbswurst
- Start date
Women who get the stuff, the GDR gave the Olympic teams, are easily able to carry theyr husbands up to 50 km per day.
Let’s not forget that from the mid 70s throughout the 80s the East German women’s team was using steroids.
I know. I expressed it in a joking way.
Every country had very fine tuned ways of doping, except a couple countried behind the Iron Border.
Those countries thought the notion of ’fine tuning’ was ridiculous. They prescribed to the idea ’more is better’!
Think of it as a chemical Carpet Bombning!

So just who hasn’t walked anywhere in decades?......
Of course there is no guarantee that people who have never hung a classic poster or walked anywhere in decades won’t rush to tell you how you’ve been doing it all wrong for years, how much bigger and better the posters are where they come from or try to steer the thread onto the subject of concealed firearms but I for one would be very interested.
Likewise, who’s trying to steer the conversation? Pointing out the reality that men are inherently bigger than women is a reality. Nothing more, nothing less. Pointing out that firearms equalizes most of those differences is a reality. Ignoring those points to promote a false (politically correct) opinion that men and women are the same IS “steering.”
The caber toss was essential the way the paperwooding was loaded on the trucks. Think of carrying that Caber(albeit shorter—- 5’3”) from the place they were cut to the truck first. Then going back for the next. And the next. All day long. As the truck became loaded the toss got higher. only they weren’t athletes; they were just ordinary country boys making a living.
The other one, the Russian woman, was the way railroad ties were carried into place (creosote ties are a bit heavier when fresh than her pine log but they get lighter with age)

Is it totally useless to destroy a thread about female hiking with loads of OT comments, because something doesn't look PC.
The result will be, that interested women will buy equipment that's to heavy to carry it comfortably and in the end will stick at the camping ground, how we usually see it.

Well I must admit as a child, I was amazed by our coalman....or....coal woman....no one was ever sure, in the end everyone called him/her Nutty Slack a name that stuck with him/her for life, probably due to the part time job held in the animal glue factory, anyway this person would start delivering coal from one end of the street carrying up to 20 sacks and delivering them one by one as he passed each house, at the top of the street he/she would whistle the horse who would come running and stopping to allow him to take on another load and then start delivering down the other side of the road, all in all he/she would deliver about 300 sacks of coal per day, finishing quite early this allowed him/her to take up his post in the glue factory until hisher shift finished at 6 in the evening, rushing home he/she would gulp down the tea that was laid out for him/her and rush to the church joining in the choir practice as the soprano, people used to say what a beautiful voice Nutty Slack had and what high notes he/she could reach.
One day Nutty Slack was approached by Lord Coal who was in charge of the Olympic Team, and asked whether he would be interested in representing Britain in the Moscow Olympics in the egg and spoon race, "sure" Nutty Slack said "I would be honoured", Lord Coal replied that although a lot of athletes do get honours, there was no guarantee,he then asked Nutty Slack did he have any questions, "sure I have questions" replied Nutty Slack "how heavy are these eggs"

Hard to tell how serious you are but to be completely honest, it’d be just as unrealistic to deny that SOME women are capable of massive strength as it is to believe that they are somehow the norm.
Many years ago I watched in TV a young red haired Swedish girl who was able to carry her full sized horse.
I watched out for girls like that at several pony farms, but never found a girl like that in Germany.
(That's the reason, why I am still unmarried.)
@Janne , do you have the impression that Swedish girls usually are stronger than others?

Yes. Not only Swedish, but Norwegian too.
Of course, they are taller than the British ones ( so naturally stronger)
but mainly because it is a way of life to take long walks, hike, generally do sports.
Outdoor life is the largest ’hobby’, ’freetime pursuit’ or what you want to call it in Scandinavia.
I think in Finland too.

just to show age or sex doesn't matter. and of course it's true. it must be it's on t'internet
I often wander whether people think about their dogs when walking or hiking, I often see little dogs their legs going ten-to-the-dozen to keep up with their owners, and although the owners may walk leisurely for a few miles,it must seem a lot longer for their dogs, especially these so called toy dogs.
But getting back to the seriousness of the OP's question, the answer is that after a few hours walking together it would be obvious if one of the parties are carrying too much, either the male or the female, and a distribution of the load carried may be necessary until each are carrying the load they are capable of.
Trying to work this out beforehand may simply mean that you have to leave essentials behind because of the fear of overloading either one in the party.
The motto should be "suck it and see" , we learn by making mistakes.

Yes, they do packs for dogs now.
Even small ones.
Rusty was sixteen and not keen on walking, so my father was told when he dogsat him. So Dad took the jack russel out on the downs. rusty had never been out of town, and was romping away even after eight miles.

Dog never been outside of town? That is cruel.
With an old dog, ( we had two, then one then none. ) you walk just its speed.
We made a point of walking behind them, so they did not get stressed.

"The Tossing of the Caber (the Gaelic for pole) is a truly Scottish sport which has been practised since the very early Highland Games in the 16th century. It was devised by Scottish woodmen in their leisure time. Contrary to general opinion, ‘*caber tossers’ *do not try to throw the caber as far as they can but to toss it so that it turns end over end and lands in the ‘12 o’clock’ position. Sometimes the long and extremely heavy caber proves particularly reluctant to turn, so pieces can be sawn off the end until the competitors are finally able to toss it.
As for stacking "pulp", I've handballed many a load, as well as heavier stuff.

I learned how to pack a hiking rucksack when I was a child. In the seventies it still was part of a propper education in the upper middle class in Germany, like learning to play the guitar or another instrument, swimming, speaking European languages or whatever is useful.
