To put this in context: I read that the British Marines "yomped" 80 lb over 3 days to get to the battle zone in the Falklands; that applicants to British Gurkha regiments must still run up hillsides carrying 80 lb baskets of stones; and that 18th and 19th century coureurs des bois humped 200 lb loads over hills to span rapids separating streams navigable by their canoes -- and if Quebecois of the old generation that I saw in the '80s/'80s are indicative, these were little men about 5'3" tall -- basically, the same size as my mother's generation of Filipinos. We moderns are soft.
