Back Packer shares the rules.  The rules tell you that the weight of the shoes you wear can greatly affect the amount you can carry for the distance.  It tells you how much weight in your pack per your body weight will slow you down and how much speed is cut off when you are hiking an incline.

If you are ready to go hiking or backpacking these rules may help you be a little more prepared. If you would like some hiking tip check out this Round-Up Of Hiking Hacks.
