Worst load I had was carrying the M60, spare barrel (and cleaning kit), plus 77 set (radio) and spare battery. We were lacking a No2 gunner (as usual!) and properly trained signaller that week. Fortunately the 600 rounds of link I was also carrying were only blanks and about a 1/3 of the weight of real rounds.
Wouldn't have been too bad since the gun on the front and radio on the back basically cancelled each other out (could actually stand perfectly upright) but the terrain was mountainous to say the least. The slopes we were climbing were so steep you could touch the ground with hand outstretch while standing straight up.
