Boy, Carl, I sure could use a little padding on MY hip bones where the waist 
belt rides. To what do you attribute this specific area's increase?  I left 
the PCT after reaching Scissors Crossing in '94 because my hip bones couldn't 
take the pack weight any more.

After replacing my waist belt with a newer style, things are better now, but 
there is always room for improvement. I still need to hike with foam pads 
over my hip bones.
