[glow=red,2,300]How to Load a Backpack[/glow]
Step 1
Assemble all food, water, clothing and other equipment you intend to carry.
Step 2
Small items you won't need until you pitch camp can go inside empty spaces, such as the inside of your cooking pot, to take full advantage of space.
Step 3
Load your sleeping bag at the bottom of your pack (if you have an internal-frame pack) or tie it below (if you have an external-frame pack). You won't need it before you pitch camp, and a sleeping bag is light for its volume.
Step 4
Pack heavy items'food, stove, fuel and water'above the sleeping bag and next to your back. Be sure that objects don't protrude into your back.
Step 5
Keep your water bottle separate for easy access.
Step 6
Try to keep the weight evenly distributed from side to side within the pack so that it won't be lopsided when you carry it.
Step 7
Fill the remaining volume with clothing. The items farthest from your back should be the lightest.

guys above info is something to share. A well-loaded pack takes less energy to carry than one that's off-balance. It's also much more comfortable.
