if you get good rucksack that fastens well and fits snug. you can carry a lot more than a cheap crappy loose fitting one.
the better the weight is balanced and distributed the easier it is to carry.
but even with the best kit its better to carry a lighter load. it only gets heavier the longer and further you carry it.
If your carrying at full capacity when you set off your not going to get very far at all.
walked from teeside into Bridlington with poor fitting rucksack and a tent.
I ended up with no skin on knees and a frozen shoulder.
never again without good equipment.
