Try to assemble the backpack carefully and carefully, but not follow the basic rules of packing. Then the whole journey with this backpack will turn into an ordeal for you. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to take into account a few simple, but very important points.
Necessary
Backpack, things for the hike
Instructions
Step 1
Place the main weight of the backpack on your shoulder blades, as close to your back as possible. This is the basic rule. It is dictated by our anatomical structure.
If you put all the weight on the bottom or somehow, then the backpack will seem much heavier. A person loaded with it will get tired very quickly and will feel serious inconvenience even with minor ups and downs.
Step 2
Run something flat and soft all the way across your back. This will protect yourself from possible discomfort. There is no need for any bank to rest on your back all the way.
Step 3
Put a sleeping bag, warm clothes, i.e. underneath the backpack. everything is light and voluminous. Then place what you will definitely not need in the near future.
All this should take up about 1/3 of the entire backpack.
Step 4
The next is just the area near the shoulder blades, which was mentioned in the first paragraph. Therefore, put canned food, cereals, water, all kinds of iron things, various cans closer to the back.
Place your tent, clothing, and all other necessary luggage further away from your back. Pack tightly. Do not leave unfilled corners or air pockets in your backpack.
Step 5
In the upper part, place everything that you need to get first, at the first rest. Dishes, snacks, raincoat, toilet paper, etc. this place in a backpack is perfect for things. But put such valuables as matches, a lantern, a knife or a card in the outer pockets. Then during the trip you will have the opportunity to get them freely, and ideally, without even taking off your backpack.
Step 6
Attach all long and bulky items to the outside of the backpack. You can place it on the sides, bottom and top.
Distribute everything symmetrically so that neither the left nor the right side outweighs.
Try not to make your backpack too wide, otherwise it will be a hindrance when passing tight places. Remember that absolutely everything must be in the backpack or be attached to it so that your hands remain free.
Step 7
Pack the garments more tightly and pull the straps tight.
Place the backpack on your back and check how comfortable it fits. Lean in different directions and jump several times. Nothing should rest on your sides or back. Nothing should thunder and flounder. If everything is in order, then the packing of the backpack is finished. If something does not fit or the backpack does not look monolithic at all, but rather looks like a bag of potatoes, then unpack it and go through all the stages of packing from the beginning.
