How often and how far

I hike every couple of months with my son and his friends 15-25 km a day ,it is hot around here so by spring Ill be carrying 5 liters of water.Add that to a basic pack +20 meters of 0.5 rope and things get pretty heavy .This year I made them(16 year olds) pull their own weight so my pack lighter - rope-1ST aid etc. I also hike every week as part of A guide course, I carry far more than most and if anyone needs anything from binoculars to ass wipes they come to me .
 
Forgot to add in my initial post that I carry a shoulder bag with essentials and it weighs almost 6# with water.
 
Sasha, a nine lb. weight loss, dang be careful - I can believe it w/ the heat we've been having in Socal for the past two summers. My little whistle thermometer thingy has indicated 107 degrees several times, but I go into denial and tell myself the thing is defective. It helps me get through. Oh and I used to trail run, now I'm definitely a trail snail jogger. Walking hurts my feet.:D
Getahl, we must live parallel lives as I too am in Ventura (T.O.), just got married last week and have weights and a stairmaster in the other room. Good luck w/ the house and to both of us new husbands.;)
