Do you use a tumpline? Does it affect your neck?
A couple examples.
Tom MacKenzie, wooden and birchbark boat builder who always used tumps was having neck pain a couple decades ago. His Orthopod claimsd he had a45 year old body and a 90 year old neck and he should stop using the tump completely.
Cindy Williams, a Canadian tripper and Canadian Style paddler of some note, always tumped her wanagan and packs. With a bulged disc between C7 and T1; there will be no more tumping for her either.
My high school, near the middle of the last century, had a Winter Conditioning program that included neck bridges. There was also a weight machine for strengthening one's neck for football. Those not doing at least neck bridges maybe shouldn't be using a tumpline?

True - but the best way to relieve the shoulder pain is to use a tump.
