Excited to do a mountain climb? or just any outdoor adventure? It should be a comfortable trip.

Comfortable trip is equals to correct loading of your packs. I know that all seasoned climbers has their own individual style for loading a pack but there are a few standard or shall I say universal guidelines on weight and gravity.

Choose a mountain gear pack that would be easier for you to move, change direction and even perform critical task while you carry a weight on your back.

A properly loaded pack can be significantly more comfortable than one that is packed incorrectly.

Start by loosening all of the packs compression straps, and if you prefer, all internal dividers. Put your sleeping bag in the bottom. Some people put their bag into a stuff sack, while others simply stuff it into the pack.

We suggest using a compression stuff sack to compress the bag to its smallest size. Next, place your tent body and fly, folded into a square. Close to your back. Above the tent, but no higher than your shoulders, should be your heaviest items: food, fuel, water filter, etc.

Above this and away from your back should be lighter items, like clothes. The side mesh pockets may be used for water or fuel bottles, tent poles, and fly rods.

Try to keep items which you need to get to quickly or frequently near access points or in outside pockets.
