When i was in the military, we did stuff with 35kg packpacks on a daily basis. thats why we showed this stuff to our new guys as one of the first things when they came to our unit. we called it "the backpack drivers licence" (rucksack-führerschein). :D
Yeah i'm browsing videos like this one (actually... just this one :D and another of one sitting on the ground and then getting up) as i did it by myself (still without the rfs you mention :) ) and it was really hard and as the good guy says in the video, even dangerous and some potential body hazard. Good to get smart thanks to... youtube servicemen at least!! Mach's gut :)
In military when, I was tired, I usually took off my backpack while crouching or in prone so I just rolled on my back and took it off easily. To pick it up I layed down on my backpack, got it on and stood up from my knees.
When my backpack is around 30 kg (and above) I prefer strap it when sit down on the floor, and roll front like baby crawl. After that I put a knee up and I stand up
On day one and two I use the uploaders method.. Day 3 and further,it's baby crawl all the way.. It is not always available but an appropriate sized tree stump to set it on works as well.
Great video, thanks. I've had to carry over 100 lbs.(hunting elk), and being the last one out, get my pack on and get to my feet. I usually drag it up a bank, lay in it and put both arms through the shoulder straps, and do the chest harness. I then roll to one side, get one leg started under me, like a sprinter, and push up and forward. I always preach to the younger hunters to help each other, and show them how, so no one gets hurt.
If it's possible I like resting my backpack somewhere higher than the ground level. Then I don't have to lift it up and also don't have to bend over to find something in it. It's not possible everywhere and everytime but it's definitely my favorite way to do.
After 9 yrs of Marine Corps rucking experience, I found that I liked to place the pack on the ground with the top of the pack closest to my feet, straps upward. Loosen the straps a bit and allow them to hang off the sides. Grab the ruck by the two straps in middle of the rucksack, and bring the ruck to one of your knees. In one swift motion, throw the ruck up in the air and catch it on your back. With the pack still high on your back, slide your arms through the loosed straps and allow the pack to slide down into place and tighten your straps. There's never an incredibly easy way to put on a really heavy ruck, but that's the way I like it
Cheeser I thought the same thing at 19 because I didn’t want to listen to folks and was stubborn but I found friends and I good life .You could try the Air Force it’s also a good start thanks for taking time to comment 👍
Australian here. our field packs have buckles o the shoulder straps, so you can drop it faster in a contact. we put them back on while sitting or lying down and the pack on the ground, then rolling over and standing up. this means you don't need to lift or set it down.
wish i knew this in cadets, i just picked it up, upside down and threw it over my head, and that was a 15kg-20kg pach each time plus webbing, and day pack. mind you i was 16 and yes i now have back issues -.-
Literally never seen anyone do a dedicated video on how to take rucks on and off safely. Just randomly stumbled across it when looking for something else. It may look silly to some but you can really screw your lower back, neck or shoulder quickly taking a rucksack on or off. Many special forces (many different countries) will carry upwards of 55kg rucks sometimes, which is just pretty ridiculous. Imagine fucking your back or shoulder with something that heavy, not being able to get it back on afterwards and realising you're far, far from home. I've even heard of it screwing up peoples selection for various things because they badly tore or strained something and it put them too far back with no time to heal. Definitely a good functional skill for anyone, especially if you're out on your own.
Damaged tendons behind my shoulder blade while picking up my backpack. Was hiking with my daughter with tent in the Norwegian mountains. Had everything for both of us in the backpack. Took half a year to heal. Burned as hell while moving after sitting still or sleeping. Really should have been more careful but maybe also should not have been picking up my daughter (25 kg) & backpack (32kg) at the same time.
At my fire brigade we sometimes mount the rispiration backpack, which weights about 15Kg, over our head (without wearing a helmet) because the clothing itself is already very thick and it won't get stuck on other gear your wearing on your hip belt etc.
I lay on the ground and slide into the backpack turn onto my front and do a very powerful press-up, its important your back is straight while going from the horizontal to the vertical position. I also sometimes do this and clap when I am showing off to the girls. I use a British army bergen backpack with side pouches, I typically go on 25km runs with 70kg but when I go on longer tours I will go up to 110kg for an overnighter. I am 150cms and weigh around 200kg.
Usually will throw it over my head. Simple reason that it slides better into place, not comming in conflict with my other gear. However I'll say the method shown is great, and what we teach. Simply because it works with all weights, and under fatigue.
To lift my 70 lb duffle bag or my scuba tank, I do it the front and over instead of around like you do this pack. Really good job with this video. Stay safe
I quite like throwing it over my head, to me it feels similar to getting ready for SCUBA diving. Also thank you for the 3 layer video, I'm currently changing mine to belt / chest rig / rucksack.
I built a molle vest system for a bike rally last year, two double pouches, two single and two pathfinder style all on lowest possible mounts, two 2l waterbladders in the back of that as it has a mesh pocket then my 50L macpac goes over that (The 60 beercan ruck I meantioned above...) and the belt off that sits nicely above the pouchkit, Essentials in the pouches, Tent, sleeping bags in the main pack and two 40l packs strapped to sides of the main for our clothes, the Wifelet wasn't allowed to carry anything because I had to balance the load properly, Turmed up to a biker rally looking like I just came from Goose green lol. Then went to a shop for beer for the weekend :-D
Always great videos. I really appreciate you doing some of your videos in English I still watch the ones in German but i understand more if they are are English 😉 Stay happy healthy and fluid my friend
40 years ago in army I once carried 60 kg. 20 kg was water and 3 food and the fn rifle and the 200 rounds plus 4 mags for the bren gunner. A couple of 60mm mortar and the other sleeping bag I only weighed 86 kg Then we had to walk 30 km in sandy soil of caprivi strip of Namibia. It was really terrible. Your arms were constantly going to sleep when the shoulder straps dug in. Don't be an infantry soldier boys. They treat you like a pack donkey
Usually with my ruck I clean it and flip over head then while bent over like a good morning I cinch shoulder straps then stand up and buckle waist belt.
I do it just like you using my leg as a rest. My backpack usually weighs between 20 and 30kg. I also prefer standing up before putting it on rather than standing up with it.
step 1: order a task rabbit, ask them to hold the bag while you unbuckle and slip out. putting the backpack back on: order a task rabbit, get them to put bag on you back.
The method of my choice is to turn the rucksacks upside down with the straps facing you. You slip one arm through a strap then use the big leg thigh to boost it over your neck with a little bend forward and it will slide down your back while you slip the second arm through the other strap I used the method during patrols as it was very quick and efficient. Always kink the knees and use your big leg muscles. Don't bend and lift. I am still quite strong as you can see in my picture at 60 Yr old last year
25kg aint that hard. Id been in the army but nit aince like 22. At 51 I decided to do some hiking. Obviously I got all the green stuff out, rugged but heave. Packed her up threw in 4 litre of water. I hiked 9km before camping, after going from 0m to 620m up and over a mountain. 4km out n3xt day in circuit track. I never weighed the pack. Got home was curios. Filled water up again threw same food in pack. Weighed myself on scales with and without pack. 23.5kg not bad for a old unfit fark. Easy? No it was good days work. Break after first 2km omg I knew I was lugging a lit by then lol
Yeah, I put it on from front. Pack on ground in front of me and it's upside down aligned with me. I lean over, put my hand through the shoulder straps, grab the sides. Lift it to my waist height, then lung it up as I duck underneath it and it lands on my back. Less then 40kg at a time. A second pack I would put side ways in front of me. Grab one side. Lift it to waist level. Then lunge it up as I duck under it and rest it sideways on my shoulders over he first pack and hold it there with one hand on both sides. Most of the time the packs at waist level on top of something and I just walk into it. I rarely need more than 10kg for a day hike.
I have no transport and often load 48-60 cans of beer into my rucksack and walk maybe a half, 3/4 mile home, most people I know can't even shift the pack on the ground let alone lift or carry it lol.
I normally carry 60lbs and I can do that too but you are doing it the hard way I know it’s not always available but I sit on a down tree or a big rock like a table so it’s takes the weight off my back for resting for a second or taking it off, i always say I’m strapping on my jet pack just have the bag on the ledge and line your back up and strap in then stand
Hmmm, I was carrying a 55 lb to 65 lb backpack (~23 to 26 kg) at age 11 to 14 when I weighed from 110 to 140 lbs, back in the 1970's. Never had an issue with it.... Of course we used to carry bacon bars with us as our snacks back them....
Thank you for your videos. They are always very informative and enjoyable. Also, thank you for making videos in English. It is an effort I am grateful for.
This is no joke... Rules apply no matter how many lbs/kg.... I had shredded my rotator cuff/ and 2 other tendons in my shoulder 11 months ago.. Lost all mobility for about 6 months, until I could get the surgery procedure dialed in... and therapy 2 to 3 times a week since... and as of today, I am only about 50 percent range in mobility of the shoulder, (getting better every day, just slow) and the strength is only about 20 percent of what I had... Muscle atrophy worked against me during that time.. to the point that I have one arm bigger then the other, (never mind the jokes, LOL).. I had no idea that my shoulder played such a major role in my life, and only one took me out of the game... this technique may look silly or un-natural, or not manly enough... but tell me how manly I look now, that I have lost a year of my life, and over $19,000.00 USD of saved up loot, upon this process of recovery.. and likely have another year to go... please note, I am an average physically fit guy, but the un-natural motion of slinging a 75 to 90 lbs back pack off and hanging on to it with one hand, is all it took to wreck everything... I almost want to cry, seeing this video, knowing that this simple movement of the leg to support the bottom of the pack could have prevented everything I am dealing with.. Those dinky muscles that ripped in my shoulder, we never think about, considering how large my other muscles surrounding the inner ones are, how weak they are in bad positions, and one handed pulling off a heavy back pack, already over extends the cuff muscle/tendon and then the snap action of taking on the heavy load in a stupid direction, they are not intended to handle... and again, took me out of the game.. I am sorry for sounding like a parrot, but, 11 months of my life has passed, and my whole body shows that I have not been working out, and is truly a sh*tty feeling.. there is my two cents... I hope my testimony will help affirm, this is no joke, allow the stronger limbs of your body to take the load of the backpack/rucksack.. teach your brothers.. getting roughed up while in action is one thing, but being taken out because of a damn backpack, that can ruin a mans mental wellness... just saying.... be smart, be safe, and forever rock and roll.. unless you think your backpack deserves more respect then your shoulders do...
@@itsrobotime Feb 9th, I got the right shoulder rectified and I have about 90 to 95 % of my right arm mobility back, and the strength is still weak, but That will come back for me very quickly as soon as I can get the left rotator cuff surgery which is hopefully still on schedule for this week.. and about 2 months of doing nothing, then about 2 moths after that of physical therapy and then I can after that, start my campaign to build back up my wet noodle arms to what they once were.. Thank you for asking... I think the recovery will go much faster on the left side, now that I know what to exact, dealing with the right one...
1:45 at this point I grab the handle between the shoulder straps with my left hand. A single strap is not meant as a handle. You can then lower it. Whatever works for you
Hey man this is a great video (i'm not finding many on the subject and have to learn). I'm in the middle of watching it. One thing that i notice, your 1st method hangs it on just one strap (before wearing the other). I suppose you lay the load on your body side, i do so when carrying a bike on my shouder, *but* i'd be worried that all the 30, 40 kgs that moment are hanging on just one strap... what do you think? I've done it just once so far, by sitting and then slowly standing up... I'd be really grateful to hear your thoughts, thanks man :)
I lift up the back pack Infront off me with both hands, bring it overhead and let it slide down. I first saw a soldier from a different company do this when I was a recruit. At first I thought he was some gung ho show off. But when I tried it myself it really works. I would suggest getting on a kneeling position first, reduces the length u have to carry slightly and the amount you fall in the instance it gets caught on ur guards or vest.
About the putting on your backpack. I always used to jerk it up and put it on. Once i did that and i was standing on the strap. Pulled the strap right off when pulling the heavy bag up.. Felt kind of dumb.. Well this is the way to do it then, the way you showed it... Ill remember that for next time. This might be cursing: ***** Well i wanted to say something about a pressure cooker. But the comment is lost. A months worth of food (if not more, i ate for weeks of it, and still didnt finish it, back then i didnt have a pressure cooker. Its a big time saver.) can fit in your bag with dried beans, peas and rice. Store it in half liter bottles. Flavor with bullion and concentrated tomato sauce. Its soup! I think i exaggerate a bit in the comment i made. Checked the distance. Moscow is 120 days worth of walk if you only do 20km a day... It may be a bit far (it may even be possible who knows?!). But across Germany from the coast of the Netherlands, that should be able to be done. The thing is its a lot more food than you can pack with anything else im sure. Just didnt want to have you guys missing out. *****
Cooles Video 👍 Danke für die Info 👍 PS: Der Rucksack sieht toll aus hättest Du vielleicht einen Link oder könntest Du mir bitte mitteilen um welches Modell es sich dabei handelt? Liebe Grüße aus Wien ❤️ SAS
Gutes Video. Nichts mehr hinzuzufügen. Köstlich. Irgendetwas mache ich ganz besonders falsch, wenn ich mein Marschgepäck nicht von vorne Kopf über auf den Rücken bekomme. :*-D
What backpack is that one? I like some details (also the way you tighten the waist belt with just one movement at 7:47 - it may be a little stupid detail but i din't think i can do it on mine)
Hi thanks for the video. I am planning a backpack trail 6 days so I would highly appreciate excersice or physical traing for get fitness to carry on backpacking for 6 days. Thanks in advance. Alberto
I would actually like to see a video of that other method you mentioned, picking the bag up and flipping it over your head. I have been trying to find one but none of my searches comes back with anything. Just curious as to what the advantages are.
Please avoid any spinal rotation while weighted. I have diagnosed many herniated discs from lumbar spinal rotation under axial weight loading. I salute you near ground and roll up techniques, but the standing doffing one... not so much! My tips.. don't flex the spine or rotate the spine and you will be fine!! Thank you!!
Which backpack is that? I am looking for heavy load, long term survival backpack. Was looking into Tasmanian Tiger. Aboiding Savotta, kind of annoyed on their style. Also TT has V2+ system. But I am open for any option. Money is not of an issue
The weird thing is that lots of people said that the carried 30-80 pounds in there backpack I’m in 7th grade and I have 28 pound backpack like geez I’m only in 7th
Mmmm, mucho peso en tu cuerpo puede q el hueso lo resista y los musculos pero el cartilago no y despues de unos años estaran gastados y te va a llegar el dolor como a los 70 años o menos te dolera al mover los pies y caminar . Porque crees que intentan hacer exoesqueleto para mejorar el rendimiento de los sordados al cargar peso ?
Nice video. It is sad that you have to remind people all the time that it's your own opinion and not everybody has to follow it. xD Keep up the good work! =)
Thank you. Yeah, a lot of people seem like they don’t understand this. And often I feel like they also don’t understand, that they don’t even have to watch the Video, if they don’t like it 💁🏼♂️
He packs 25 kg in his backpack, so if we scale the 192 cm and 96 kg linearly down by 12% we get a 169 cm and 84,5 kg person (in reality people that tall are probably a little lighter if they're not chubby), and he packs 25 kg in his backpack, if we scale this down by 12% we get 22 kg, which is pretty heavy for people that tall. So apparently you cannot calculate this linearly , you need medicine and sports knowledge.
Hey, really informative video. One thing that I‘m personally struggling with, when it comes to heavy backpacks, is the hip belt bruising the skin by my hip bone when carrying it for a bit. Have you experienced a similar problem and do you have solutions on hand? It’s only reoccurring when carrying heavy loads and I‘ve been trying to use rash creme and adhesive bandages for cushioning but it isn’t really helping. I‘ve heard of deer tallow as a solution but haven’t had the chance to try it. FYI I‘m usually using an Osprey Aether 70 AG that is packed with around 25-35kg or my Bach Yatra 60 with probably the same amount of weight. A solution would be greatly appreciated.
Shrug shoulders up and then put belt strap on. When you relax shoulders it should rest just above your hips a little better. Another aid is to tuck cloth into belt strap and then tighten

Useful information. It is important. The backpack mustn't swing sideways. Always controlled movings

The kit is so much better now especially with the waist strap, takes the weight of your shouders. Gome are the days of 44 pattern webbing.

Excellent presentation and demonstration. I couldn't even dream of carrying 40 Kgs nowadays at my age, my knees would explode. 😏🤦♂️ Subbed.
Thank you for your videos. They are always very informative and enjoyable. Also, thank you for making videos in English. It is an effort I am grateful for.
Thank you guy for sharing how to carry the backpack
This is no joke... Rules apply no matter how many lbs/kg.... I had shredded my rotator cuff/ and 2 other tendons in my shoulder 11 months ago.. Lost all mobility for about 6 months, until I could get the surgery procedure dialed in... and therapy 2 to 3 times a week since... and as of today, I am only about 50 percent range in mobility of the shoulder, (getting better every day, just slow) and the strength is only about 20 percent of what I had... Muscle atrophy worked against me during that time.. to the point that I have one arm bigger then the other, (never mind the jokes, LOL).. I had no idea that my shoulder played such a major role in my life, and only one took me out of the game... this technique may look silly or un-natural, or not manly enough... but tell me how manly I look now, that I have lost a year of my life, and over $19,000.00 USD of saved up loot, upon this process of recovery.. and likely have another year to go... please note, I am an average physically fit guy, but the un-natural motion of slinging a 75 to 90 lbs back pack off and hanging on to it with one hand, is all it took to wreck everything... I almost want to cry, seeing this video, knowing that this simple movement of the leg to support the bottom of the pack could have prevented everything I am dealing with.. Those dinky muscles that ripped in my shoulder, we never think about, considering how large my other muscles surrounding the inner ones are, how weak they are in bad positions, and one handed pulling off a heavy back pack, already over extends the cuff muscle/tendon and then the snap action of taking on the heavy load in a stupid direction, they are not intended to handle... and again, took me out of the game.. I am sorry for sounding like a parrot, but, 11 months of my life has passed, and my whole body shows that I have not been working out, and is truly a sh*tty feeling.. there is my two cents... I hope my testimony will help affirm, this is no joke, allow the stronger limbs of your body to take the load of the backpack/rucksack.. teach your brothers.. getting roughed up while in action is one thing, but being taken out because of a damn backpack, that can ruin a mans mental wellness... just saying.... be smart, be safe, and forever rock and roll.. unless you think your backpack deserves more respect then your shoulders do...
How are you doing now?
@@itsrobotime Feb 9th, I got the right shoulder rectified and I have about 90 to 95 % of my right arm mobility back, and the strength is still weak, but That will come back for me very quickly as soon as I can get the left rotator cuff surgery which is hopefully still on schedule for this week.. and about 2 months of doing nothing, then about 2 moths after that of physical therapy and then I can after that, start my campaign to build back up my wet noodle arms to what they once were.. Thank you for asking... I think the recovery will go much faster on the left side, now that I know what to exact, dealing with the right one...
1:45 at this point I grab the handle between the shoulder straps with my left hand. A single strap is not meant as a handle. You can then lower it. Whatever works for you
By the same token, I lift it from the ground with my left hand on the grip and put my right arm in the strap
Iam your new subscriber sir ,from the phillippines nice video a lot of information more power to your channel ,more videos take care and god bless...
Hey man this is a great video (i'm not finding many on the subject and have to learn).
I'm in the middle of watching it. One thing that i notice, your 1st method hangs it on just one strap (before wearing the other). I suppose you lay the load on your body side, i do so when carrying a bike on my shouder, *but* i'd be worried that all the 30, 40 kgs that moment are hanging on just one strap... what do you think?
I've done it just once so far, by sitting and then slowly standing up...
I'd be really grateful to hear your thoughts, thanks man :)
I lift up the back pack Infront off me with both hands, bring it overhead and let it slide down.
I first saw a soldier from a different company do this when I was a recruit. At first I thought he was some gung ho show off.
But when I tried it myself it really works. I would suggest getting on a kneeling position first, reduces the length u have to carry slightly and the amount you fall in the instance it gets caught on ur guards or vest.
Just yesterday I've made my first training with 40kg backpack hike, and it was tricky to lift it to my back so I used a bench...
Nice technique! Going to try this.
About the putting on your backpack. I always used to jerk it up and put it on. Once i did that and i was standing on the strap. Pulled the strap right off when pulling the heavy bag up.. Felt kind of dumb.. Well this is the way to do it then, the way you showed it... Ill remember that for next time.
This might be cursing:

Well i wanted to say something about a pressure cooker. But the comment is lost. A months worth of food (if not more, i ate for weeks of it, and still didnt finish it, back then i didnt have a pressure cooker. Its a big time saver.) can fit in your bag with dried beans, peas and rice. Store it in half liter bottles. Flavor with bullion and concentrated tomato sauce. Its soup! I think i exaggerate a bit in the comment i made. Checked the distance. Moscow is 120 days worth of walk if you only do 20km a day... It may be a bit far (it may even be possible who knows?!). But across Germany from the coast of the Netherlands, that should be able to be done. The thing is its a lot more food than you can pack with anything else im sure. Just didnt want to have you guys missing out. *****
“Make sure there is no clif or whatever” lol
Useful video, thanks
I do it the same as you; the other way you described would not work with a heavy pack.
We have handles on ours so we can yeet them onto our backs
i prefer following: to knees and then above the head, when load is ~40kg
Okay. So it does not get caught by magazines/pouches?
Or do you feel like this is easier? Thx, dude.
@@ripperkon not get caught with chestrig, probaly would with platecarrier
Cooles Video 👍
Danke für die Info 👍
PS: Der Rucksack sieht toll aus hättest Du vielleicht einen Link oder könntest Du mir bitte mitteilen um welches Modell es sich dabei handelt?
Liebe Grüße aus Wien ❤️

Gutes Video. Nichts mehr hinzuzufügen.
Köstlich. Irgendetwas mache ich ganz besonders falsch, wenn ich mein Marschgepäck nicht von vorne Kopf über auf den Rücken bekomme. :*-D
Great video .. Thanks
Thank you😺
Excellent video, is it recommended to use your technique with an 30 kg ALICE backpack? Regards from Mexico.
done some patrols with 45 kg.... lean it up, sit down and put on shoulder straps, roll and try to stand !
That was pretty good !!!
Good stuff, brother. 🤘from 🇨🇦
What backpack is that one?
I like some details (also the way you tighten the waist belt with just one movement at 7:47 - it may be a little stupid detail but i din't think i can do it on mine)
When we go on our 12 miles rucks I usually put it on when I’m laying down and than just throw my self up
God bless your spine
Hi thanks for the video. I am planning a backpack trail 6 days so I would highly appreciate excersice or physical traing for get fitness to carry on backpacking for 6 days. Thanks in advance.
Alberto
Very useful, thanks a bunch
What type of backpack or Bergen is this ? Where can I get one ? What's it called ? All information gratefully appreciated thanks 👍👍
Thank you this is a very useful/ helpful video what is the make and name of your Bergen
I would actually like to see a video of that other method you mentioned, picking the bag up and flipping it over your head. I have been trying to find one but none of my searches comes back with anything. Just curious as to what the advantages are.
@Krister Lagerström Thanks
Please avoid any spinal rotation while weighted. I have diagnosed many herniated discs from lumbar spinal rotation under axial weight loading. I salute you near ground and roll up techniques, but the standing doffing one... not so much! My tips.. don't flex the spine or rotate the spine and you will be fine!!
Thank you!!
werd ich mal bei der nöchsten Tour mal so probieren ^^
Very good and You earned another Sub .
where did u buy those pants they look so nice
I do it the same way you have shown
hello sir whats the size and brand of that sleeping mat ? is that thermarest solite regular ?
Which backpack is that? I am looking for heavy load, long term survival backpack. Was looking into Tasmanian Tiger. Aboiding Savotta, kind of annoyed on their style. Also TT has V2+ system. But I am open for any option. Money is not of an issue
Thank you for this video, cheers! :)
Are those UF Pro pants you are wearing? If so, what do you think about them?
Had to strap in on the ground and roll until I could get my legs between me and the ground. 30+ kg
So what if my bag has straps at the top of the bag and not lowered
Sorry, I don’t really understand what you are asking.
I'm subscribing that was good info
The weird thing is that lots of people said that the carried 30-80 pounds in there backpack I’m in 7th grade and I have 28 pound backpack like geez I’m only in 7th
Mmmm, mucho peso en tu cuerpo puede q el hueso lo resista y los musculos pero el cartilago no y despues de unos años estaran gastados y te va a llegar el dolor como a los 70 años o menos te dolera al mover los pies y caminar .
Porque crees que intentan hacer exoesqueleto para mejorar el rendimiento de los sordados al cargar peso ?
Thanks.
Nice video. It is sad that you have to remind people all the time that it's your own opinion and not everybody has to follow it. xD
Keep up the good work! =)
Thank you.
Yeah, a lot of people seem like they don’t understand this. And often I feel like they also don’t understand, that they don’t even have to watch the Video, if they don’t like it 💁🏼♂️
@@ripperkon yeah, I never understood this either! I stop watching a video if I don't like it, pretty simple. ;p
He packs 25 kg in his backpack, so if we scale the 192 cm and 96 kg linearly down by 12% we get a 169 cm and 84,5 kg person (in reality people that tall are probably a little lighter if they're not chubby), and he packs 25 kg in his backpack, if we scale this down by 12% we get 22 kg, which is pretty heavy for people that tall. So apparently you cannot calculate this linearly , you need medicine and sports knowledge.
Hey, really informative video. One thing that I‘m personally struggling with, when it comes to heavy backpacks, is the hip belt bruising the skin by my hip bone when carrying it for a bit. Have you experienced a similar problem and do you have solutions on hand? It’s only reoccurring when carrying heavy loads and I‘ve been trying to use rash creme and adhesive bandages for cushioning but it isn’t really helping. I‘ve heard of deer tallow as a solution but haven’t had the chance to try it. FYI I‘m usually using an Osprey Aether 70 AG that is packed with around 25-35kg or my Bach Yatra 60 with probably the same amount of weight. A solution would be greatly appreciated.
Shrug shoulders up and then put belt strap on. When you relax shoulders it should rest just above your hips a little better. Another aid is to tuck cloth into belt strap and then tighten
very helpfull, thanks

Can you go over different uniforms and cold weather gear you use in the army?
you are the KSK special operations
What make of bag is that? Looks very good.
That’s my selfmade one. I made a video about it, that is called “the biggest backpack on TH-cam” or something like that ;)
Ah, yes I have seen your video. Very good, thanks for the reply.
Your joking , plus 2x12kg tubes on top. You pendulum it up in one movement, tense while doing it.
Arnolds grandkid!
Thats the way, uh-huh,uh-huh. I do it, uh-huh, uh-huh... Yes 70s music!
