[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1494334, member: 105926"] You also need weight in a framed pack to make it ride and fit correctly (usually a minimum of 15-20 lbs). If you go and try on a pack in a good store they will add weight to the pack so it can be properly fitted. So you should start with about 15 pounds to get your pack properly fitted and then go up from there in the workout. As Timnterra said, how much weight you ultimately work to is up to you and whatever workout you’re doing. I’ve gone as high as 100 to simulate walking out with quarters, just so I can prepare for that mentally. You should at least work up to whatever the pack weight you’ll be hunting with is. [/QUOTE]
