Hunting season is here, and a successful hunt in North Idaho usually ends with a heavy pack-out 🦌
A few back-saving habits for the trail:
• Cinch the hip belt so your hips carry the load, not your shoulders
• Keep the heaviest weight high and tight against your back
• Split meat into more trips rather than one heroic haul
• Lift from the ground with a hip hinge, load close to your body
The farther a load sits from your spine, the harder your back has to work — that's a core finding behind the NIOSH lifting guidelines.
