<p>A backpacker's device characterized by a frame structure having a central weight-bearing leg which terminates in a lower foot, and two lateral weight-bearing legs, one of either side of the central leg, each terminating in lower ends and connected to the central leg remote from the lower foot and lower ends. The frame structure is formed of a single bar in a generally M-shaped configuration. The lateral legs of the frame are preferably flexible. Other preferred embodiments include a contoured profile in the frame, a hip belt to which the weight-bearing legs of the frame are attached in a particular relationship, a rigid belt-reinforcing strap to prevent excessive lateral movement of the frame lower ends, and a packbag secured on the frame in a particular relationship.</p> |
