I finally understood my pack felt awful because I was ignoring my hip belt

On the third day of a trip in the White Mountains, a friend pointed out my hip belt was sitting on my actual hips, not my iliac crest. I'd been carrying all the weight on my shoulders for years. Anyone have tips for dialing in that sweet spot?

How many years did I do that too?

The real question is whether you're counting calendar years or just the time you were actively doing it. People forget to factor in those long breaks where life got in the way. Makes the total number feel different, doesn't it. You might be surprised if you actually sat down and did the math.

Did the math once on how long I'd been trying to learn guitar, and it came out to like 14 years if you count the months I actually picked it up. That felt way too long for someone who still can't play a full song without messing up lol
