Stacking of a backpack

about three Years ago I have adopted a fashion to spend stacking a backpack preliminary having thrust in the sleeping pad inside curtailed(turned) by a pipe. This way has advantages - the sleeping pad gives to a backpack additional rigidity, plays a role of a back, supports(maintains) the correct form of a backpack, protects things from a rain. However there are also lacks. The sleeping pad borrows(occupies) a lot of place. It(he) "eats" from 10 up to 20 litres of volume of a backpack (depending on a cut and a way of stacking). Except for that the sleeping pad-pipe removes the centre of gravity in depth of a backpack, further from a back of the tourist. It is fraught with increase in loading. Each centimeter of displacement of the centre of gravity is equivalent to several kgs of an additional cargo. More in detail about the centre of gravity and backpacks read in Vladimir Geller's remarkable article.

Clause(Article) as I have understood, is turned generally to manufacturers of backpacks. However to us, simple tourists, too what to gather therefrom. I was very much interested for example with idea of stacking of a backpack in horizontal, lying position with the subsequent dense cтяжкой. To tell the truth it would be necessary to try(taste) this way of stacking in practice. " In practice " means " in a hike ", instead of in city, at itself on a balcony. Only in a hike it will be possible to estimate(appreciate) really all pro and contra. One more consequence(investigation) of perusal of this clause(article) became my interest to tourist sleeping pads developing an accordion. One such - army German already is at me. But it(he) thin also suits only summer. Good sleeping pads cost(stand) about 50 dollars which I allocate now I can not - I postpone for new extralight tent.

Well for now I shall search for the new style of stacking of a backpack, I shall tell more in detail about "old" operating time. Every evening I completely assort a backpack and I stack it(him) from zero in the morning. Thus stacking turns out better and dense, than at lazy attempts to push a thing back in not disassembled backpack. Except for that practically that I bear(carry) all in a backpack I use every day. Otherwise what for I would take it?

On the bottom of an empty backpack I stack tent (laying). It(she) does(makes) a backpack flat and wide, sets its(his) form. Then I insert the sleeping pad curtailed(turned) by a pipe and I start to fill with its(his) things. First a sleeping bag, warm things. Along a back I build a wall from cans and other heavy subjects. With opposite, a face sheet I put empty bottles (feature of the Crimean shallow hikes). To the very top I put products for a dinner and a jacket on a case of a bad weather.

In the valve traditionally there goes a card(map), GPS, the camera and a cape on a backpack (from a rain). By the way, there is one more factor supporting(maintaining) the correct flat form of a backpack - on halts I on it(him) sit.
