;D Winter Time if I don't take a pulk sled I carry 70 to 80 lbs easily. When I go I go for at least 4 days. I have carried much less if I know for sure winter is not breathing Winter.
Summer Months 20 to 40 lbs depends on the length and time. I have been Backpacking for 25 years plus. an ole man by some standards but I can out carry most younger Trekkers. My friends call me Refrigerator for a reason.
At 6'4 230 lbs a 70 lbs pack is no problem.

;D How much FOOD? I like to eat so I take plenty. Actually I do the Carb And Calorie , Protien thing. I calculate winter time at least 4 thousand calories a day, summertime I can do the same especially if I am hiking long Distance.
