Apparatus to be utilized with backpack equipment to support counter-balancing loads adjacent the chest of the user. A backpack and frame apparatus is adapted with the front load carrying apparatus. A pair of front load carriers are pivotally journeled to the backpack frame, the front load carriers extending substantially perpendicular to the backpack frame and lying on the opposite side of the frame as the backpack. The front load carriers are adapted to be adjacent the chest of the user and to be secured to one another once the pack has been mounted. The pivotal couplings between the front load carrier and the pack frame allow the front load carriers to encompass the girth of the user and to be alternately opened to provide the user easy means for mounting or removing the pack. When the pack and frame are mounted upon the user, the front load carriers are joined to one another at the front of the user, load carrying containers being affixed to the front load carriers. The load attached to the front load carriers apply a force to the backpack frame and assembly which counter-balances the force which results from any material which is stored in the conventional backpack.
