What was the hardest carry that you remember?

Those 2 I remember my pack was something around 90lb and the walk was 5 hours, but broken by a night at a biv.
The hardest carry was a a deer out of the Pouranaki onto the Rangi tops and to the car via the Rangi hut. Bringing deer up out of the Orua onto the Maungahuia tops was always a grind.
I was only doing what dozens of other guys were doing.
