Let’s face it girls, we are not as physically strong as the average male. Our upper body strength tends to be lacking in areas most men take for granted. Okay, I know, naysayers will be among you but listen. There is a solution and it doesn’t entail going to the gym. Follow the principles of ultralight backpacking in selecting your gear and the kingdom is yours. No one should be carrying more than 20% of their body weight anyway… and men tend to outweigh us.
And when looking for gear keep in mind many manufacturers now have a line of backpacks made especially for the feminine physique.
After all, strength is measured many ways and they will never top us for thigh strength and… when it comes to mental strength well…
I know I promised gear reviews and it is still to come. Just sifting through the information and two more gear shops to visit.
