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:
