Weight consideration for bags

Any bag that you make should not be more than half your weight. I ideal weight is 25% of your weight. Realistically there is no way a normal person will be able to carry a 100 lbs. especially children.

That being said you should train your body to carry at least half your weight. Most of us here in St Lucia already know the struggle of a carry a bag full of school books that weighs sometimes more than you and that’s from primary to secondary school. Not sure about the rest of the world and you have to carry a heavy bag everyday just make sure you can carry the weight of your pack.

Now some of us have disabilities and other long stories that affect the amount of weight we can carry. Honestly if you can’t you can’t. All I can say is buy lighter gear make use of your space and have mutli use items.

You must also consider your dog if you are using it to carry load. This is not a clear cut question. You should train a dog to pull a cart or carry a bag and gradually increase the weight to see how much it can carry comfortably for long periods.
