I’m Not a Mule Hiking Backpacks

Internal Frame Backpack

Internal Frame Backpack Metal supports that provide the pack shape and structure are hidden within the bag (they are internal)

Internal Frame Backpack Advantages -Comfort. Pack fits more comfortably to the back. -Balance. Because the pack hugs your body, the pack does not bounce around, throwing you off balance. -Maneuverability. The pack is not as wide as an external, so tight spots (hiking through rocks or trees) easier. Disadvantages -Internals are hotter than externals because they are closer to the back. -Internals are harder to pack and organize (most internals only have two compartments).

External Frame Packs

External Frame Packs Pack that has its frame and support structure on the outside of the bag

External Frame Packs Advantages -Easy to pack. Separate compartments make it easier to organize gear and locate random items. -Easier to distribute weight. Heavier and spread more evenly around a person's center of gravity. -Stay cooler. The pack is set off of the person's back, allowing air to circulate between your back and the pack. Disadvantages -More cumbersome due to its bulkiness. This is important on less traveled trails, rough terrain and tight spots. -Because the pack sits away from the back, it is prone to bounce around, which could throw you off balance.

Waterproof Packs

How to Fit a Pack Always lift pack by PACK HANDLE Loosen all straps Put pack on and tighten hip belt securely around (on) your hip bones Pull down (tighten) shoulder harness straps Adjust load stabilizers so pack is vertical Tighten sternum strap to prevent raw, caloussy, nasty, pussing, chaffing

How to Pack a Backpack Bottom Compartment – Sleeping Bag Main Compartment – Bottom - Clothes that you don’t need all the time – Center – Camp gear (potsets, stove, water filter etc) Top – Food (stuff that you’ll need more often) Top Compartment – bug spray, sunscreen, snacks, map, compass etc
