Realized on the Art Loeb last spring I was packing my food bag at the bottom, and it cost me
I did the Art Loeb down in NC last April and kept my food at the very bottom of my pack under all my layers, mostly out of habit from day hikes. Halfway through day two I was digging through everything for 10 minutes just to get a granola bar, and my buddy said 'why not just put it on top, you eat more than you change clothes.' Now I hang it off the top and I'm not dumping my whole pack out at every break, but I keep second guessing if I'm missing something about weight distribution, so where do you all keep your food and does it actually matter?
