CHOOSING YOUR PACK
The two basic types of backpack are INTERNAL FRAME and EXTERNAL FRAME.
Internal frame packs are ideal for all types of terrain. They tend to be narrower and bear weight closer to your natural center of gravity.
External frame packs
were designed
first. They are good for carrying
heavy loads along well
established trails, and also have
better ventilation. Today, the internal frame’s versatility makes
it the more popular choice of the two styles.

PACKING YOUR PACK
• Pack heavy things close to your body to maintain your natural center of gravity
• Pack things that you may need while on the trail (rain gear, toilet paper, etc.) in external pockets that are easily reached.
• Anything that is clipped to your pack (dangling) will add unnecessary extra weight.
A well packed pack will save your back!

PUTTING ON YOUR PACK
Now that your backpack is fully packed, it will be pretty heavy.
1. Loosen shoulder straps and hip belt. Position pack so that the straps are all facing you.
2. Grab both shoulder straps, one hand on each, and lift your pack up to your knee. You can use a tree to help you keep it propped on your knee during this step.
3. Release your right hand from the strap and put your arm through its respective shoulder strap. Hop and use your body’s momentum to swing your pack to your back, where you can slip your left arm through the other shoulder strap.
4. Fasten your hip belt. Jump to lift your pack to the appropriate height as you tighten it. Repeat for shoulder straps.
5. Hit the trail!

The internal frame style of backpack is the most popular type in the world.

When packing my pack, where should I put my rain gear?
On top.
Don’t bring it. Near my back.
An external pocket, so I can
reach it.
