How to Pack an Internal Frame Backpack

Packing a backpack is one of the most important parts of a hiking trip, since an uncomfortable backpack will result in an uncomfortable hike. This article will tell you how best to pack your backpack, starting at the bottom and moving up.

Keeping softer objects (clothes, sleeping bag, camp towel, etc.) near your body will create a cushion between your body and the harder things you may have packed. Since a sleeping bag is both bulky and soft, that should be put in first, near the bottom and close to the small of your back.
