- I tell you the secrets of where should a backpack waist belt sit on your hips. Trust me, it’s not where you think it is. So many store people will tell you this location but I’m here to tell you something different. After 1000’s and thousands of miles on the trail, I share what works. This is highly dependent on your backpack and body. However, it’s important to consider the points I share in the video, including the important point at the end of the video so you know where and how to put on your backpack correctly.

Great technical help and thank you for the tips. Just a thought but too much computer/ video game sounds. The noises detract from the focus on you and the material.
Thanks for the feedback! Trying something to mix it up but it didn't work out.
@@ALinsdau By the way I really do appreciate all the help you have shared so sorry for one of my first comments to be one of criticism over something minor. I really like your channel because the way you share your experience comes across as strait forward and well experienced. You have really helped me build up a hiking pack that may not be completely “ultra light” (some of it is though not all) but with common sense on trail will aid to enjoy the outdoors more with safety in mind. I’m on track to hike into the Grand Canyon in a few days and thank you for all the help.
Helpful content as always. I find I tend to carry the belt higher for higher loads, particularly when using an E-frame pack, to allow more upright walking. But most of the time, I wear it as you demonstrate. Just one constructive comment-you went a bit overboard on the sound effects. You don’t want those to overwhelm your excellent content in your videos.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm always trying something new to make things more engaging.
good video but it would be much better without all the annoying gongs, clicks, n=bangs, bells
Thanks for the feedback.
Great explanation as usual. I love the sound effects, they are hilarious!
Thanks! 😃
Thank you so much. Great video. The best explanation and guidance on UA-cam 😚🤗🤸♀️
Thanks for watching & subscribing!
It's funny . I just explained this to a long time YT Outdoors type , a few months ago . He was telling people that the pad / belt should ALL be "above " the hip bones , and ride ON the hips ?!? I told him that the belt / pads were desiged to go over the top of the hip bones , splitting 50/50. My first backpack was a Oprey 85 L , and when I bought it . They "REI " had a machine to heat up the belts / pads to form the pad over the hip bones , or . With time , they would mold in , without the heat . I don't know exactly how I split the hip bone . But I do know when I have it right . Good video , as always . Be safe out there folks .... Gubs
Completely above the hip bones would put the backpack super high. It's certainly an interesting take. Thank you for watching!
Your videos are very helpful!
Thank you.
Awesome video. This is one of the most detailed explanations I've seen on how to fit a backpack. Btw, I agree, the sound effects are distracting. You are already quite charismatic, so you don't need them. ^_^ I have a question. I have a pair of Nucleo La Sportiva boots, and I want to do more winter hiking. At what point (or temperature), do I need to switch to insulated boots? Aside from insulated gaiters - which was an awesome tip - are there other ways to "push down" my boots so I can use them at colder temps?
I switch to insulated at 10ºF / -12ºC. I've pushed my Vasque leather boots to -20ºF / -28ºc in the arctic but I wouldn't do it again.
Great video. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Best fitment video end of story thank you 🎉
Thanks!
Well Explain!!!
Thank you for watching!
Great video, annoying sound effects
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! I have a question - what if I feel most of the weight (after adjusting straps and hip belt properly) on my sacrum? Is that normal and where should you feel the weight on your hips (left/right, middle, evenly distributed)? Thanks!
I feel some weight on my sacrum - the hip belt may need adjusting. That's normal for me Otherwise it's possible the hip belt doesn't fit your body correctly. When properly adjusted, the weight should be mostly distributed around your pelvis but I feel it most on my hips. Email me and we can chat about it more if you need.
@@ALinsdau Thank you for the reply! I tried multiple things to see what would improve the situation (feeling weight on my sacrum) and realized that the backpack I used (Exped Glissade 25) didn’t have enough padding on the back of the hip belt area (and honestly the hip belt was more of a stability piece rather than a weight bearing one). Another thing that I noticed was that the backpack length went just a little below the hip belt mark, which made it “resting” on my sacrum more than I would want to. Returned the backpack, went to REI to try packs with good hip belt padding and a little shorter torso length - seems like the problem was gone and now I’m searching for a perfect backpack fitting those two criteria :) Hopefully my conclusions were right and I won’t be feeling the pack’s weight on my sacrum as much! Thanks again; I will definitely email you if the backpack I buy won’t be feeling right!

hey aaran. nice tip - always wondered that one tbh - as i have a number of backpacks which seem to have different spinal distance between belt and shoulders.
i have to say that I agree with Davy Haynes re: sound effects. I don't think you need them :) ... i love watching you simply speaking. (though you did look a little uncomfortable with the hand mic rather than the usual clip on one - though that could be because of the belt power source for the clip on one?)
Anyways, given that you did one on the belt measurement - how about one on the sternum strap ... i never thought that they would be that useful - perhaps a detailed examination of the pro's and con's and set up would be good too. Just a thought?
Hi Joe Public - Thanks for the feedback on the SFX.
I had to use the hand mic because I didn't want to damage my belt pack with the backpack belt. It's not the ideal situation for sure.
Too many sound effects man hahaha. Good information though
Thanks for watching!
