Packed and ready

My pack is complete. The idea I am going to have this small bag with everything I need for 30 days of walking is both freeing and terrifying. I have been advised to carry no more than 10% of your body weight, and I met that mark exactly. The pack has been professionally packed and fitted to me. I marked the strap settings with a sharpie. If I lose weight, I’ll have to make adjustments to my hip belt. The hips carry most of the weight. It’s actually a kid’s sized bag. On the back you can see that even with it being designed for youth, I needed it adjusted down to match my short torso.
