#193471 - 02/04/16 12:43 PM Are Load Lifters Necessary? [Re: 4evrplan]
4evrplan member Registered: 01/16/13 Posts: 913 Loc: Nacogdoches, TX, USA	New question: I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around just what exactly load-lifters even do. Are they even necessary with a properly fitting pack? _________________________ The journey is more important than the destination.
