[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8670819, member: 7006"] Of course, the one thing that video about the platemail was missing is all the guys wearing a backpack full of camping gear and mountain climbing equipment, plus 3 or more different weapons like your standard D&D adventurer LOL! In truth, I don't know if anyone would actually "adventure" in platemail since they'd have all that extra poundage of stuff they'd have to bring with them in addition to the weight of the armor. Reserve the plate for short battles of war when you don't need to carry all your equipment with you onto the field. But if you were going to be hiking 30 miles a day every day through the wilderness with a full pack, I dunno if anyone would even want to wear platemail even for the extra protection. The water loss and dehydration alone from all the sweating would probably kill you, heh heh! [/QUOTE]
