I think the heaviest load I ever carried was around 95 lbs. That was a beast. I stupidly let my friend talk me into going gourmet. Probably carrying 40 lbs of food for a 5 day trip. The first day was about 4000 ft. uphill out of Mineral King. I was totally wasted when we got to our destination. His son found it hilarious how much I cussed and screamed. Meanwhile my friend trudged along with about half my weight. This was a long time ago. This was well over 100 lbs. I had difficulty getting it on and once it was on, bending over was impossible...(OCC)

Although some will say its not a question of where you grip it, I think you could grip it by the husk.
