I admit to being curious what the max possible carrying capacity for an individual PC actually is. Probably something astronomically physics-defying, of course.
If you roll stats with an 18 in strength (or assign them), and get to a 22 through orc racial bonuses, you apply all 5 stat increases, get a +6 belt of giant strength, a +5 tome of strength (forget what it is called), go pack mule as a level 20 fighter, take muscle of society, cut your losses, a masterwork backpack. That is 38 (base strength) + 10 (Pack Mule) + 2 (Muscle of Society) + 2 (Cut your losses) + 1 (MW Backpack) = 53 carry weight strength. This gives you a light of 12800 lbs, a medium of 25600 lbs, and a heavy of 38400 lbs. Have someone cast enlarge person on you, and enjoy 34048;68224;102400.
Edit: Oh and if you are using mythic, you can strength total to 63 through those ability score increases, add on display of strength to get that to 83 you can have 819,200 lbs; 1,638,400 lbs; 2,457,600 lbs. Cast Enlarge Person for 2,179,072 lbs; 4,366,336 lbs; 6,553,600 lbs. Use mythic enlarge person for even more lulz to get 5,668,864 lbs; 11,354,112 lbs; 17,039,360 lbs. I have no clue why you would need that much carry weight, but I guess if you need to carry the tarrasque, now you can.
