The load will vary depending on where you go, but it will still
be heavier than that. For the basic combat load on the LBV, add a 3
kg water bag and goretex at least. For field pack throw in PT Kit
and Shoes, sand bags, candles, lighter etc etc and usually either
48 or 72 hr rations. + we don't usually just carry 1 contact rate.
I think, all in all, the load should be about 8-10 kg heavier than
what is stated-- Not including the body armour that they want to
throw on now
