[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5365787, member: 8835"] if you're walking to get somwhere, you should be able to go 3-4 miles an hour. That's at most, a brisk walk. Not power walking. Just walking to get somewhere. I'm not sure if some folks realize just how slow 1-2 mph is. If I was carrying a pack, and somebody was going that slow, I'd still be going faster. Because barring an exceptionally heavy pack, it HURTS to move that slow. It's easier on the body to keep it moving, and thus shifting the weight. Not having a car when I was growing up and living in the country, I walked to plenty of places. Going down game trails doesn't slow you down that much either (assuming you're not going slow on purpose, to be quiet or spot something). the only peoplee going 1-2 MPH ought to be sneaking, trailblazing or in poor health. All it takes is working legs and not being overweight. It's not like you gotta be a pro-athlete to walk for an hour or two. Put it this way, you're driving through BFE. Your car runs out of gas. There's no cell reception. Start walking. If you got some place to be, you'll be going 3-4 MPH, because a slower pace is ridiculous, and a faster pace is tiring. [/QUOTE]
