If that's with five days' food, plus water, then I'd 
say you're doing OK.  How much do you weigh, 
if we may ask?

Clearly, "bigger" folks can bear more weight -- 
that's the main reason for asking.  If you only 
weigh 90 lbs, soaking wet, then 35 lbs might 
be a bit much.

35 lbs. is well outside of "ultralight" territory, 
though.
