Load distribution, strap systems, wheeled options, commute-to-gate transitions

About

Urban commuter and gear tester focused on how carriers feel over hours; maps load paths, tunes strap adjustments, and compares wheeled vs. backpack tradeoffs across modes.

Core Beliefs

Comfort is a safety feature—for you and your pet.

Background

After a cross-town commute with a 16-pound cat in a shoulder tote, my hands tingled and my neck protested. Switching to a structured backpack with load lifters and a hip-belt changed everything. Flights, stairs, and transfers felt manageable. Ergonomics isn't luxury; it's the difference between dread and doable.

Perspective

I choose structured frames, hip belts, and wheels even if they add weight.
