[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 1015191, member: 537"] Sorry to be late to the pack party, but I just wanted to say that I also have chronic lower back pain and find that carrying a well-fitting, internal frame, load-transferring pack makes my back very happy. If I carry a small several pound load in a ”regular” day pack, my back hurts a lot within a few hours. As [USER=92300]@jeanineonthecamino[/USER] pointed out, a day pack with no support will likely irritate your back a LOT more than a good internal frame pack. I am not saying that all people with back issues can carry packs, of course. But a good pack doesn’t put any weight on your back, it puts it all on your hips. I think many people just assume that back issues mean that carrying a pack is out of the question and that’s just not always true. So for those who haven’t investigated, it might be worth further inquiry. Being able to put on your pack in the morning and walk till you want to stop really adds to the sense of self-sufficiency, and it liberates you from a lot of advance planning. [/QUOTE]
