was in the half of the carrier upwards. The goal is to create a heavy load does
not accumulate around the waist and thighs. Your shoulders will contribute to
sustain the load. The heavy goods such as logistic.

sleeping bag and a change of clothes at the bottom, then put a rolls of tent on
a place whitin easy to reach.

pockets, could be used to place such as drinking bottles or cutlery with
