How to prepare your Backpack for Hiking
You have to backpack with the right content in order to ensure safety and comfort while you are on the trail. Bulky, heavy objects should be put at the bottom of your backpack. Lighter things, like plates, spoons, and socks should be placed near the top. Follow these steps for proper packing.
Step 1: Put your sleeping bag in the backpack's pocket.
Step 2 : Pack any food in the backpack’s main compartment inside a bag. Make sure you pack food properly, not just for weight purposes, but to keep the food as fresh as possible.
Step 3 : Put your tent on top of the food and against the pack frame. This will help build a sturdy base for your pack.
Step 4 : Arrange cookware, stove, fuel and other camp items around the tent and food. Keep the heavier items close to the pack frame; lighter objects can be fitted together. Nest things such as pots, utensils and stoves together to save space.
Step 5 : To avoid bulkiness, stuff - do not roll - your clothes into the main compartment of the backpack.
Step 6: Tighten any compression straps to secure the contents of the main compartment of the backpack.
If your backpack does not have any pockets, put any small tool you may be carrying in the main compartment on top of your clothes. You want to distribute the weight in your backpack to ensure that you maintain the proper balance while walking.
