1. Attach your ALICE pack by weaving its straps through the corresponding horizontal slots on the frame.
2. Loosen all straps, position the frame on your back, and rest the padded kidney pad directly on your hips.
3. Secure the kidney pad waistbelt tightly to transfer the majority of the pack's weight to your hips.
4. Adjust the padded shoulder straps so they are snug, stabilizing the load without carrying the primary weight.
