Walking with swords

[Ryujin]

Yes. While wearing full plate, a fully loaded backpack and a tower shield. Oh, and a helm.

Full plate might not feel as heavy as it really is when you're wearing it, due to the distribution of weight, but tavern chairs know only aggregate weight.

 

[Dioltach]

A spear might be best for taking a hike through the hills. Maybe a quarterstaff?

As long as you don't have to walk anywhere near trees.
