Back-Chestpack constructions

The concept I liked and worth considering. I did myself a similar construction of two backpacks.
What needed is in quick access put to the front backpack.

Toughen Up Your Feet

Toughen Up Your Feet
TRICK #1
Soak your feet in strong black tea or coat them in tincture of benzoin. The acids in both of these will help strengthen the skin on your feet. Stronger skin means less of a chance of a blister forming.

TRICK #2
Double up on socks. Many hikers like to wear a thin pair of liner socks inside their thicker wool hiking socks. Instead of your skin rubbing against the one sock, the liner will slide inside the thicker sock, absorbing the friction that commonly causes blisters.

TRICK #3
Break in your boots! The easiest and yet most commonly overlooked preparation for hiking is to wear your new boots around for a while before taking them hiking. Once the material has loosened, your feet will fare much better on a long hiking day. Wear them around the house, to work, or even on thetreadmill at the gym.

GoPro Camera File Chaptering

How are chapters created with GoPro cameras?

When recording a video, the camera will automatically segment into a new file chapter once it has reached a certain size. These files when put together with editing software will play seamlessly as if they were never chaptered. When played back from the camera directly the recording will play through as one continuous video.

Chaptering is intentional and there is no way to keep the camera from doing so. Chapters are divided like this so in the event of a jolt or crash that causes a file to become corrupted, only a portion of your video will be effected and not the whole thing. While there is a file recovery feature in the camera, chaptering is a precaution step just in case the feature is unable to fix the video.

Here are the chapter lengths for each camera:
