took it on a 10 mile hike mostly off trail through thick brush and increased the load, still very comfortable. because of where it sits you naturally shift it around to avoid obstacles and as a result I never really had it snag on anything did lose my knife though because i attached it poorly. gonna see if I can overnight this thing next. I found out I can run a belt through the poncho and blanket and they act like a second padded belt around my waist spreading out the load even more.
>>2324374still waiting for the doctor to get back to me with MRI results, but yes any weight whatsoever for a sustained period seems to cause nerve pain. ive already recovered quite a bit so I'm guessing it will heal. I can support my own weight now with almost no pain, which is why I'm still able to hike + the rocking movement of walking seems to make it feel better as well.
