handlerer2, here is the issue I have with comparing to what others had "back in the day". Being a resident hunter in CO for nearly 40 years, as well as an infantry soldier. I can tell you heavy hunting gear slows you down and doesn't allow you to hunt as well. The more you carry even in the best shape will wear you down faster than carrying fewer pounds. The crux is finding the right balance, as the lighter it gets the more stuff you'll want to carry and then it doesn't help you to have lighter gear.
