Happened to me many a time during SUT...cross load sometimes happened sometimes didn't. Most of the time the biggest guys (me) carried the biggest loads and I remember one specific incident where I finally raised my hand and asked for a weight and the weights ranged from 90 to 120 lbs, mine being 120. Right, wrong, indifferent...who knows? We all get through it somehow.
BTW, anyone have any good luck with London Bridge's Ruck? Its suspension system looks like that of an actual mountaineering pack yet still retains a "true" ruck design...
