A backpack is an indispensable accessory for any long-distance hike, tourist, hunting or geological. The serious burden that you have to take with you should not disfigure the backs and knees of the participants in the hike, things should not get wet in the rain or get lost somewhere along the way. This means that the question of how to fold a backpack is the first one that arises before the road.
Necessary
Backpack, clothes, groceries, camping equipment
Instructions
Step 1
Choosing the right backpack is very important. Shoulder straps should be wide and soft so as not to chafe the shoulders. If the straps on your backpack are tight and tight, cover them with felt or felt.
It is good if the backpack is reinforced with straps that are fastened in front on the stomach - they allow you to transfer some of the weight to the lower back in order to relieve unnecessary stress on the spine.
Step 2
A travel mat - "foam" - roll up into a tube and put it inside the backpack, then expand it with your hands to make room inside this roll. This is to ensure that hard and angular objects do not rest on the back and shoulders through the fabric.
It is better to put clothes and all other items that may be damaged by water in several plastic bags. In addition, things packed in this way will be more convenient to get out - you don't have to go through the entire backpack.
Step 3
The basic rule of packing a backpack is that the weight must be evenly distributed over its entire length. It should be flat and soft against your back. This means that heavy objects - pots, food - should be placed on the bottom of the backpack, and soft things should be distributed along the back - clothes, a sleeping bag, a tent.
It is better to put on top what will be needed at the nearest halt - for example, lighter clothes or part of the food for preparing dinner.
Step 4
To ensure that your backpack is packed evenly, try to keep things tight and so that they do not move when walking. It's okay if you have to make some effort to squeeze in some bags. If there are empty corners in the backpack after packing, you can put socks and other small things there.
If after packing the backpack turns out to be round, like a roller, put it on the floor and remember with your hands and knees so that it takes a flat shape and fits snugly against the back. In the pockets of the backpack you can put personal hygiene items and dishes - KLMN, as is customary to shorten the set " mug, spoon, bowl, knife."
