hi all,
the doctor did not allow me to wear a back sack because it might be
dangerous for the electrical wire (and may be also for the machine).
so is there somebody going around with back sack who found a practical
solution to this problem?
thanks in advance for any reply

Learn to travel light. Wear a fanny pack front and back, get a dog.
When hiking in non-mountainous terrain use a travois for the dog, when
in moutains use dog body packs. At the least, the dog wll carry her
food and yours. Finally, you may have to limit back-country time to 3
or 4 days.

Find a frame pack that has rigid struts on the belt. That way nearly
all the weight rides on your hips, and there is hardly any weight on
your chest and shoulders. Load it up and show it to your doctor.
