Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting The Paradox Pack Thread

Here's how I got my Unaweep 4800 fitted up.

- put the pack on without fastening the hip belt.
- loosened up the load lifters.
- snugged the shoulder straps down.
- Fastened and checked hip belt location. (it was a bit too low, so I changed the belt mount to the frame to the last hole, to raise the belt an inch or so. Then everything fit.

I had the 4" frame extensions in. I could have also shortened the extensions to effectively put the shoulder harness closer to the belt, but I didn't want to before checking out the load lifter geometry.

At the end of it all, I cut 1" off the frame extensions, and that, along with the belt in the highest mounting position, puts everything where it belongs, with the shoulder harness riding close.

Load lifter engagement will lift the shoulder harness a bit at the back, as designed.





I've carried it several miles up and down the hill with about a 30 lb load. Very comfy.
