    How To Properly Size, Fit, and Adjust a Backpack

    Hi Rick again ... the EDS means also super bendy (can do an awesome backbend even at my not so young age) ... complicates things because the more the pack just kind of snuggles into my back and becomes part of me the better as long as I am able to walk well with good posture. Having said all...

    How To Properly Size, Fit, and Adjust a Backpack

I still remember a LONG time ago my first multiway bushwalk with my father's pride and joy the Mighty Mule by Paddy Palin he bought circa 1960 with a huge square frame ... great on a burly square-chested...

    How To Properly Size, Fit, and Adjust a Backpack

    Thank you so much, incredibly informative. I have some questions I so hope you or others might answer ... about women's bodies and women specific packs. I have a thin small torso but large hips (and butt) that not only were great to carry children on but I find the best place to carry my...

    Ok entering the shoe debate with trepidation ...

    thank you, that's helpful! In the end I bought Brooks glycerines AND HOKA Mafate ... for different terrains and to alternate a bit ... I love the Inijis ... the Mafate have a cushioned tongue which works well. And thanks for the shoe lace tip: my podiatrist also said to experiment with different...

    Ok entering the shoe debate with trepidation ...

    Thank you ... a week later gathering advice and doing research and taking three new pairs bought on spec into the podiatrist and guess what he suggested .... tried and true! I think there is a moral there about the Camino and simplicity and not over thinking it ... but hey I now know why the...

    Ok entering the shoe debate with trepidation ...

    Hi great to meet you! I had already watched your you tube with great interest and taken extensive notes! I've yet to try TOPO mountain racer as they aren't so available in the stores near me and we don't seem to be able to get Tabio signature toe socks only Injinji and that is all I wear now...

    Ok entering the shoe debate with trepidation ...

    Thanks that is most helpful, managed to swap the speed-goats for Hoka Masadi which have padding in the tongue (the speedgoats are very thin here) and this seems to be a better combination, along with going for the men's size which is rounder and wider in the toe box ... But I was just recently...

    thanks: problem with walking in the new Hokas is that I may need to take them back ,... so can only try them out in the home., I was just talking to someone who recommended the Altar Olympus trail runners, though whether I can get used to zero drop in time is another question ... but they seem...
