Just watched an episode of Carp Crew. Loved this program when it first came out. The wonderful Kev Green and Yan Porter. Both taken far too soon. And also good to see a young Adam Penning make an appearance. No drum and bass music in the background, no 3 minute video of the car journey to the lake. Sometimes the old ones really are the best.
Load a rucksack correctly it is no problem. Clothes go at the bottom, gradually load it to heavy stuff at the top. The bedchair weight is basically spread from top to bottom as it is strapped at top and bottom.
The weight was only around 40kilos with all my bait, food, water and cooking stuff. Not like I was yomping far with it... Maybe a mile or so round Ardleigh...
I used to strap mine to my rucksack, it can make carrying it a whole lot easier. Rucksack and bedchair on my back, rod holdall strap across my shoulder, holding the handle, tackle box in the other hand.
That is the advantage of Bergen strapping, you can attach pretty much anything to it.
