I’ve done a fair bit of long distance hiking and our packs usually came in at about 15 kilos.. believe me, you really know you’ve carried it at the end of the day. So, double that, travelling a much greater distance, in those conditions.. those men were tough! 😳
And what we forget is that the original guys were born with skis on their feet. Painful for their mums, but these guys were born with a profound and humble respect for Norwegian weather conditions.
Hey if this was the jungle, the Australian Outback, or any forest in the world; and these same guys were with Ray, he would have made them a table and chairs out of natural materials and cook some kind of animal over a fire lit by two sticks. Ray's proved his survival skills this is just a documentary.
Have you bin in the area? Most parts of Hardangervidda doesn´t have trees that provide long enough sticks. If you dont get trough these lower valleys, there is no chance of aquiring the materials. The team here does come trough those areas, but i wouldn´t garantee it happend for the original team

@TheWatcherxx99 its also a story and a tribute
Cut some long saplings and use under the heavy gear as a sled one for each man.

They were trying to replicate as much as possible, including the actual team size and weight.
