I think that another good question to ask would be, what do we think we should have in our packs?? Do you want ammo, food, clothes, or other things? If you're taking clothes, they're bulky, food, it's heavy, ammo has the same problem as food. If you're using melee weapons as opposed to guns, they're either disposable, or sustainable. If the latter, you need to carry the supplies to fix them, i.e a sharpening stone.
If you're carrying food, I suggest Canadian M.R.Es. They've got more and better food than the American ones. So, you not only have to worry about the weight of your bag, but also the proportions of the contents. I know that I raise a lot of questions, and give few answers, but I plan on answering these at some point. It's stuff for people to think on, and to help you with your thread. If you've actually read all this, thanks for being patient.

Please read the page this thread has been started under.
Personally, I would go for boots 7/10 times. The reason being that in a post-apoc world, you're not likely to get many new shoes, and boots are generally better for construction and sturdier. So, for the few times that you would REALLY need boots, it would be worth it, even if your feet get a little extra sweaty all the time. Just don't forget to change socks.

I'm finally giving suggestions/possible answers!! : ) Distace sure is a problem, but I think you're making it a little harder than it has to be. Most towns have corrals, so you MIGHT be able to get hold of a few horses. If so, you MIGHT be able to rig up a makeshift carriage. This can help with the problem of children and/or supplies. If not, you can get a wagon or something which will also help. But if you get chased by legions of the undead, you'll probably have to drop it. You can also use dogs, like the Alaskans, but I have no idea how well that will work. You can use a vehicle, or one of those goofy ass three wheel bicycles with the basket on the back. All of those are possible solutions. But if you're travelling through rough and unfriendly terrain, most of those wouldn't work very well, if at all. If you got hold of a mountain bike with good shocks, steel spokes, and solid tubes with a small basket on the back, you could go just about anywhere with it. The good ones are built with a relatively light frame, so the biggest problem would be the weight from the solid tubes. That'd be a solution for most of the problem. But if you've got three small children with you living up in the mountains with the roads blocked, you're probably better off stayin' put.

If you go to a cabellas store you can probably find a frame backpack, for cheap as they come most times, that can carry, 150+ Lbs, i'm not shure what that comes to in Metric but with a few modifactaions you can rig it to carry 250+ Lbs with just a little welding know how, and a small ammount of metal, rebar works as well as scrap for this, i use mine for hunting, i usually can carry about a week's worth of food water and a tent in it, they can be usefull for getting out of a hot area without stopping for too much
Thanks for reading Dude1307
