Civilians guess the weight service personnel can be expected to carry -

Just bought a dpm 120l bergen for wild camping. I use a heavy pack but not this heavy. The most impressive thing is in 1982 when Royal marines & paras trekked 56miles in 3 days with full 35kg kit to rescue falklands civilians. A much publicised 'yomp'

You didn't include the 3kg of the empty bergen.

I'd say this is not accurate. The overall weight is 65 kg and 40 kg. That includes Weapon, ammunition, Body Armor, water. The Rucksack is not exceeding 40/45 kg in the LRRP configuration of 65 kg. They did not carry Rucksacks that weigh 40/45 kg on a patrol when they go home within the next 72 hours. neither weighs the Backpack 65 kg.

65kg is heavier than me
