[0.98.62] Funky encumbrance trickery, and how to maximize single-person carrying capacity

'Member bagception? I 'member.
Now comes the next installment in storage space magic!
Overload a single person - as much as you can, multiple huge bags, fill with your choice of items! This person can barely move! Ripe for some cannibal chew, right? No problem!
Have another person pick this overloaded poor sod up! The person carrying the overloaded person will have much less encumbrance no matter how overloaded the carried person is! So, for you next single-person adventure, hire someone else and carry him around as a supreme carry-on bag.
Example (not accurate but portrays the problem):
Person 1 is encumbered to 80%. Person 2 has 0% encumbrance. Both have the same strength. Person 2 picks up person 1. Person 2 now has encumbrance of only 30%! That's 50% encumbrance reduction and a nifty person-bag!
Obviously it seems that the calculations are a bit wrong.
