I was out snowshoeing today to retrieve some birch logs I cut for yule logs last summer (they'll have to cure in the basement for a couple of years). I was using my largest Duluth Pack with a tump line. As I traveled, I would lean into the tump to take the weight off my shoulders, and when my neck got tired, I would lean back and let the weight rest on my shoulders. I've found I can haul more, further, using a tumpline and shoulder straps than I ever could using a frame pack with shoulder straps and a hip belt.
Anyone else use a tump regular?
