how to pack a backpack

This page goes over how to pack your backpacking pack. There is a specific way to do it so that it is well balanced, feels comfortable and light, and does not hurt your back. The video below explains just how to do this. Keep medium weight equipment at the bottom (like your sleeping bag), the heavier and bulkier stuff towards the middle (like a bear can), and lighter/medium weight things like clothes or parts of your tent at the top.
