Many people need to choose a good backpack when they go camping in the wild

Is one of the important factors in the purchase decision
Because the more comfortable you carry
Your actions will be easier

Will be shattered
However, is a backpack's carrying system excellent = comfortable?

1 Carrying bad disadvantages
First of all, carrying a bad experience will cause you big trouble. When traveling outdoors, we often have to bring a variety of living supplies. Although many items are small in size and light in weight, when they are added together, these small weights will accumulate into the large weight in the backpack. Pressed on the shoulders.
If you carry a heavier burden, your physical strength will be consumed very quickly, and your speed of action will be greatly affected. More importantly, carrying a heavier burden will also increase your chances of facing risks.
For example, it is more difficult to move when wading through a stream or crossing a slippery log. Once staggered, it will undoubtedly fall. Moreover, due to the heavy weight, the large inertia, and the inflexible emergency response, it is more difficult to fall. Others are more likely to be injured.

Secondly, carrying a bad experience may also affect others. Generally speaking, if your burden does not cause you too much burden, it means it is comfortable.
Then, you will not get tired so easily, and will not slow down the process of the whole team. On the contrary, you have more ability to help other tired or injured teammates.

In addition, the heavy burden has relatively little impact on the natural environment, such as damage to plants and soil, especially on slopes.
If you want to reduce the impact on the environment, travel friends can try to avoid some fragile areas, and may have to choose some more challenging routes, which are difficult for those travel friends with heavier loads.


2 Correctly arrange the burden of travel
Since there are so many disadvantages of being too heavy, the solution must be to discuss how to reduce the burden.

1. Choose a backpack with light weight and excellent carrying system.
2. After the weight is reduced, you can also wear lighter shoes, so as to save more energy and walk more smartly on the journey.
3. For travel friends who like photography or climbing, you can carry more professional equipment while reducing the weight of other equipment.

3 Excellent carrying system≠comfortable carrying
In fact, a lightweight backpack is what we all want! However, is it enough to choose an excellent lightweight backpack? It's not that simple-a good backpack is the foundation, you can adjust it to your own condition to get the most out of it.

Having said so much, you may not understand one point: Carrying is the whole backpack, not a backboard or adjustable shoulder straps and waist support. Carrying is equivalent to the entire backpack! In other words, any point that can cause your experience is considered a burden, not just a system decision.
In fact, the padding, accessories, and ultimate load of the backpack, even your packing skills, are part of the burden. If 80% of a good carrying experience depends on the backpack, then the remaining 20% ​​is up to you. If you don't adjust to your body shape, even the best backpack is uncomfortable for you.


4 How to adjust the backpack correctly?
The outdoor backpack is our indispensable and faithful companion in mountaineering and other outdoor sports. It carries all the essentials in your journey, so how to adjust the backpack is particularly important for an outdoor explorer. Most backpacks are designed with flexibility in mind, so that they can be adjusted according to the individual's body shape and size.
The following is the correct posture of the backpack, you can refer to it!
In addition to the detailed rules mentioned above, the following backpack adjustments should not be ignored.


1. For the new backpack, understand its purpose and location.
You should loosen all the adjustment straps first, add weight, and put the adjustment strap on the back of the backpack to the longest. You only need to fasten it when adjusting later. Because if there is no weight, it is impossible to know the feel of the backpack and whether the adjustment range of the backpack is suitable. Generally, about 10 kg is enough.

2. Put on the backpack and fasten the shoulder straps
Simply estimate the length of your back, and then adjust the shoulder straps so that the inward bending part of the strap is parallel to the underarms, and the distance between the strap and the backpack should be at least 5cm. At the same time, adjust the back shoulder strap of the backpack so that the backpack is at the highest position, that is, above the shoulders.

3. Tighten your belt
When raising the thighs to a 90-degree angle with the body, the bottom of the waistband should be level with the thighs, so as to ensure that the waistband will not hinder the movement of the legs when climbing. At the same time, when traveling normally, the weight of the backpack is dispersed from the shoulders to the legs through the pelvis, reducing the burden on the body and saving energy.

4. Fasten the shoulder straps to increase the center of gravity of the backpack
Tighten the shoulder straps, transfer the belt to reduce the burden on the waist, and finally adjust the length of the shoulder strap to the most comfortable length you feel. The shoulder straps should hold the backpack just under the top of your shoulders.
From there, they should become a coat that fits tightly with your shoulders. The bottom of the strap should leave at least the width of a palm under your armpit so that it doesn't shrink up. If these straps do not match the contours of your neck and shoulders, they will pinch you and leave you bruises.

5. The gap between the shoulder strap and the backpack should be small
The connection between the shoulder strap and the backpack must be 5-8cm lower than the shoulder, and the chest strap can adjust the width of the shoulder strap opening and closing on the chest, and make the shoulder strap more comfortable on the shoulder to prevent the backpack from shaking


6. Check the sight of the head
After adjusting the backpack to the most suitable position, check the line of sight of the head. Can you look up without touching the top of the backpack? You can still look up to the sky when you put on the helmet, and you can check it correctly.


7. The adjustment range of the shoulder strap must match the length of the back
In order to make the center of gravity fall in the ideal position; the hip belt must be able to tie on the hip bone. You should be able to see your buttocks and legs from the back when you carry your backpack. Smaller women should pay special attention to this. Do not only see the backpack and calves when carrying the backpack. This is very wrong and dangerous.
In fact, the carrying system of a backpack is excellent
It doesn’t mean that you are always comfortable with your luggage
Use the correct posture to adjust the backpack
Can make you travel easily
