Drug a 150lb deer against the grain of corn stubble up hill not too long ago. That was a cocksucker until I could start dragging with the grain. So yes to the OP’s question.

I'm in pretty good shape but it seems my spine is not. I try to keep loads on my spine below 80lbs.
I could do it, but my back would hurt for a week. Could I suspend the weight from my hips?  |

I could do it, but I would be moving slow. Hell, I started with 45 pounds and ended up with my pack weight being about 35 pounds after 106 miles. The challenge with dead weight is getting (and holding) the dead weigh up off the ground and secured. 100 pounds is easy to deadlift, but if it's a 100 pound wet-noodle, it can be problematic. There are techniques, so it pays to practice for those who are more likely to need it.

My duty loadout is about 30 lbs and, I routinely walk around in that, all day.
100 lbs for 200 yards? Easy. Just don't expect me to break any speed records. |

Quoted: Watching a Jesse Stone flick. Could you carry a 100lb body that far, picking it up from the ground? No! I had a Vizsla. They look something like this:  Back in 2005, I had him euthanized. He had a lymphoma around his neck. He was having trouble breathing. I buried him in the backyard. I think he weighed about 75 pounds. Carrying him from the bed of my truck to the grave I dug him was a challenge. It was like trying to carry a large water balloon.... or like a big block of jello. I was in much better shape then too. Maybe the only thing going for a dead human body...not that I would know.... is you could throw him/her over your shoulder like a sack of taters. |

To answer your question, yes. Even at now 51 without too much problem. 20 years ago I would say yes to twice that.
The Jesse Stone series is one of my all time favorites. It's been years since the last one so it looks like they are done. They really need to make one more to resolve some of his issues and wrap up loose ends. Jesse needs to retire or die or find some way to ride off into the sunset. I'd like an epic finale where he gets to bang Sissy Hathaway, shoot Hasty in the face, go to his ex wife's funeral and then have that beautiful secretary/singer Gloria move in with him. |

Oh, and to be clear, I ain't gonna kill her just to win a p-mag, but I think I can convince her to play dead weight for a few minutes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe the only thing going for a dead human body...not that I would know.... is you could throw him/her over your shoulder like a sack of taters. This is why we now have a new Army APFT standard. The old physical fitness standards were cool for promotion points, but did little to really assess or help develop one's strength for reality-based occupational tasks (combat focused). We use to do the drills of fireman carry for 100 yards; it wasn't easy and you could take the 140 pound Soldier and match him up with the 250 pound Soldier as his "dead-weight". Slinging a 100+pound floppy weight over your shoulder is not an easy task and most here who don't squat or deadlift or have the core-strength would really struggle with just that part. Balance, core-strength and lower body strength come into play once the weight is secured. I know sleds are used more often and I'm wondering if that was a product of increased weight from body armor or finding out that the majority of Soldiers are not going to be able to haul their battle buddy that weights 180-200 pounds with an additional 30-50 pounds of combat gear? Those who have had to hang, gut, and pack out a deer (or quarter an elk) know it's a little more complicated and takes time and effort. ROCK6 |

I spent the last week hiking 3-5 miles of rocky terrain a day with a 40 pound pack on my back, between 4-8,000 feet of elevation, and I live at sea level.
Pretty sure I'd be fine with 2.5x that much weight. My legs are used to hauling around a fat piece of shit

I've carried a 200lb Bergen, (with other bits), up an inclined course for over half a mile. Felt like I was several inches shorter after. Carried a gearbox over a hundred yards in Competition, box weighed 270 plus pounds. Got told often 'Youll fuck your back up'. Haven't yet. |

I sandblasted, primed, painted 2X 110lb tractor wheel weights recently, I had to move them around a bit to get all that done, and then hold them in place to install them. Not fun, but I could do it. I'd rather drag a deer that was much heavier than hold those weights at chest level, however. Kinda reminded me of dealing with 81mm mortar baseplates way back when.

The correct answer is situational.
If your 100-pound kid was injured and needed to be carried 200 yards to get medical attention, then yes, you could do it easily. If it was 100 pounds of someone else's beer that you won't get to drink, then no, you can't do it. It would be impossible. |

At first, when I read this post, I thought, "Yeah, without practicing the Ranger Roll, picking up a limp human weighing more than ~175lbs can be quite a PITA (as evidenced by people attempting the oldschool fireman's pickup and carry), but 'above average strength needed to pick up a 100lbs person?". Then I realized that you're right. These days, the average person seems to have difficulty getting up from a crouch/their knees, just with their own bodyweight

Carried a battle buddy at 200# for 300-400 yds in MOPP 4 in August at Ft. Benning before finally saying fuck this, I'd rather just die of Sarin gas poisoning, and collapsing on the ground. Sweat was filling up my gas mask. DS came up and goes, "you made it farther than I would have. Head back to the CP."
Medics then came out and took wet bulb temps and put a stop to MOPP4 training. Everyone after us only had to have gas mask on...we got to hang out in underwear for next 6 hours in the shade staying hydrated. The CO got some earfuls from the medics and a LTC in charge.
