Because I've knapped my own arrowheads, hunted my own food (with my own hand made bow), grown my own crops, and you all have too as well!!!!!
I must admit, I have never tried to take 500 pounds down Forest Service roads. I have, however, taken 300 pounds through the Siuslaw National Forest in the Coast Range of Oregon BY BIKE. I guess to take the full 500 pounds I would either have to get a partner or take two trips.
Paved roads on a bike hauling gear, is only an issue when there's an incline.
Forest service roads are often class 3, and nobody can ride a bike up a class 5 hauling any type of gear (if at all)
It just amazes me how weak our culture has gotten. IMHO we really should stop driving ourselves to extinction; it is so unnecessary.

Yes, we are all weak. You don't buy your food that someone else has grown. *Roll Eyes*
The oddest thing about this new breed of "environmentalist" is that most of you would die within weeks if you actually had to really live off the land.
Sorry, but having exclusively to hunt and grow your own food SUCKS.
Most of you act like you want to live as cavemen, and it's an existence you know nothing about and would never be able to survive.
