The sleeping bag ended up on top, stuff was shifted around inside, and the straps were all tweaked. The sleeping bag bouncing down below drove me CRAZY. <br /><br />The terrain was mostly walking along a ridge line, up and down, but with lots of relatively flat spots too. I can't imagine trying to fight with a pack on, or trying to run away from hostile humanoids or animals.

Imagine hiking like that for 2 weeks dodging animals and hostile tribes the whole way to then fight in the most insanely dangerous location imaginable.<br />Thanks for posting on this a bit of reality checking is always good. <br /><br />My last real hike was up and down a mountain and I had trouble with the pack, mostly my problems were because I was having a panic attack because of my acrophobia, I swithced the supply pack I was carrying with the water pack which was actaully heavier but had different strapping and that was fine, how a load sits or hangs on you can have a huge impact on how it feels. I myself hate having my bedroll hanging/dangling at the bottom of the load I prefer to have is strapped tight up on top because wiggling of the load is annoying as all get-out to me.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935997561931650289.post-23041699920518009412014-08-08T07:07:32.097-04:002014-08-08T07:07:32.097-04:00Yeah, for me, 30 lbs is the limit of what I'll...Yeah, for me, 30 lbs is the limit of what I'll hike with. I tend to prefer much lighter loads, as light as possible. Ray Jardine opened my eyes many years ago.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.com
