This video illustrate us how to wear and distribute the load of your hiking backpack. Here are the following steps:

Step 1:First of all distribute the weight in the bag in such manner that more weight lies closer to the body and lighter parts are away from the body.

Step 2: Now hold the back pack on the back of your body and secure each strap tightly.

Step 3: Make sure there is not much heavy weight on the shoulders and the neck as this will cause stress, similarly weight held away from the body will also cause bending down and ultimately stress.

Step 4: If the hiking pack has frame then let the frame hold the weight of the gear near to your waist.
