I figured out real quickly that the only way to learn to load your pack correctly is to load it, get out there and then figure out HOW to load it. This little article is a perfect way to describe fitting that inital load. Why do people comlain so much?

I think if you took the time to say shame on backpacker.. you could take the time to find an article on how to get a life.

I don't think it is much more complicted than what they have described. Do you guys need a 3D diagram of the shoelace knot?

Maybe you guys should refer to wikepedia. There are no see through blow-ups or placement of items details, I guess you were too busy backpacking to write complete article.

I am dissapointed in the fact that they did not mention the best way to pack the electric razor and toaster.

Really disappointed in the info. There's more than one type of backpack out here and you assumed that everyone has the same type. Guess I'm a non-conformist, cause my pound and a half pack has no pockets. Not going to ask where I should put some of my some of my "frequent-use" items.

What they should have done is link to their own video on the subject: http://backpacker.com/pack_like_a_pro_pt_ii_week_trip/destinations/dvideos/45

Anyone who is going to refer to this page needs much more info, including packing an internal v. external frame pack.
