This may sound like a strange question, but I am looking for some help or suggestions on retro fitting a backpack to accomodate my situation. Several years ago, I had to have my left arm and shoulder amputated. I can still wear a pack, and do so, but after a day or so it has rubbed my right shoulder raw-to the point where I have pretty much a permanent strap mark. On day hikes it is not a big deal, but on longer hikes as the pack slides around, it gets quite tiring.
I anm not adverse to buying a new pack if that is required, I currently use a 4000L bacvkpack for overnight. Planning on setting out on a 10 day section hike of the LT this September and would love to find a way to carry the backpack more securely and take some of the pressure of my remaining shoulder.
Thanks for any advice..
