Some of the weights seemed low. I carried 135lbs on average for a one week FTX in Hawaii where little or no snivel gear was needed, usually just a poncho and liner, one spare set of BDUs, 12 pairs of socks, foot powder, bug juice, 3 MREs, PRC77, spare batteries for the PRC77, PVS7, carton of Camel's, standard LBE, M16A2 and a few other items. No body armor, no camel backs, no live ammo, no demo, no grenades, no knee and elbow pads, etc. I would have thought they would be much heavier with all the new gizmos they carry these days.
