How to Load a Backpack: Expert Advice from REI

just gotta new framepack today. its a Hi-Tec Tioga 80 litre 6.5lb deal with hydration bladder storage and like four compartments. seems to be very comfortable and looks like it will pack all the basic stuff i need to go on a 3-4 day camping/hiking trip. its my first one and think i got quite a deal. Hi-Tec isn't known for this kind of gear and apparently according to the dude at Big 5, this was a model made by Gregory that they no longer have a patent on? something like that at least. i think there's some truth to it as the materials have the same pattern as Gregory and the style appears nearly identical in construction to this model. of course, i really don't know anything about this stuff, so i'm going off of instinct and some basic research. i imagine use will prove worth in this case.
