[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2489565, member: 4191"] An exaggeration. I've backpack hunted in Alaska for 42 years now. Never had a backpack that didn't suspend loads on the shoulders from the shoulder straps. And I wouldn't want a pack that didn't. The heavier the pack, the greater the load on your shoulders. I suspect the weight distribution on my heavily loaded backpack is 75% shoulders, 25% waist belt. And never less than that on my shoulders. Hiking in to hunt, with only food, equipment and rifle in/on my pack (a 45-50lb pack weight), still 55-65% of the weight is on my shoulder straps. When I try to transfer excessive loads to my waist belt, the heavy load and the tight waist belt required, cuts off blood flow to my legs. Miserable... [/QUOTE]
