Most of the time in deer stalking, you will be the only one who will know what you do. So mostly it’s you that needs to be comfortable with the standards you adhere to.

Thanks, definitely not something I think I’d repeat. That said I’ve started using walking poles and now get no joint pain with heavy packs. I walked the same route last year with no meat but no poles and knees hurt for at least a week after. Walking poles are magic.
