Using your Tatonka Patea backpack is a breeze. First, adjust the height - adjustable chest belt and reverse - pull hip belt to fit your body well. This will help distribute the weight evenly and make your hike more comfortable. You can attach your walking poles using the fixation provided. For carrying extra items, use the side pockets made of expandable material and the lid compartment with a key holder. If you want to carry a hydration system, it's compatible with this backpack. When packing, try to place heavier items closer to your back for better balance. As for maintenance, keep it dry and clean. After using it in wet conditions, dry it thoroughly to prevent damage to the weather - proof coating. Also, check the zippers and straps regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If the zipper slider gets stuck, use a bit of graphite powder to lubricate it. That way, your backpack will serve you well for many trips to come.
