How hard was calculus for you in the university?

The specified conditions are incredibly silly. In fact, 80lbs (36ish KG) is a ridiculous amount of gear to be carried for any lengthy period of time. I served in the IDF and have never seen anyone carry that kind of weight, regardless of whether they were operation ready, or newbies in bootcamp. I don't even understand what you have to cram into a backpack to make it weigh 36kg. I could stuff one heck of a tent and a whole bunch of gear into a backpack, a military radio, and wear an ammunition vest underneath, at least two full water flasks and have my gun on my shoulder, and that would still probably not be 36 kg. And -30 fahrenheit, -34 celcius, that's about as cold as things get in Syberia. Heck, it's lower than the annual average of the continental subarctic. It's murderous to have a person be outside in such conditions, and is even more murderous to have them sleep outside in such conditions. It's not very believable data. Hiking for 15 miles a day with 80 pound packs. That's 24 kilometers. That is a ridiculous distance to cover daily with such heavy luggage, even ignoring the ridiculous weather conditions you specified. All the conditions you claim you were living in and things you were forced to do, they just aren't realistic. It sounds like something a person serving time in a Gulag would have to go through, something many people would not survive. It just isn't showing any sides of realism.

Definitely. By what OP is saying, he would have crossed the entire width of my country at its widest point in about 5 days, carrying 36 kg on his back. I don't care how hot or cold it is - it would be quite a magnificent achievement on its own right, especially for a "depressed" teenager (the Depressed is from OP's comments to some questions). Now, add onto it a -30 celcius, and the "gear" OP claims he was given, which from a comment he made is "My gear was pants and two shirts that didn't fit, two pairs of socks, a coat, a sleeping back, a back pack, and various other things", especially the lacking of the notion of Boots of any description, or the lack of undershirts or thermal shirts, sweaters and the like, OP is probably either a Zombie, or a liar.
