Belt placement for beer belly

[Ninjahunter]

Where should my belt be for my pack, my beer belly keeps pushing my belt down below my waste causing my shoulder straps to dig in.
what can I do to stop this.

What pack are you running?

Slightly above/on the hip bones and just under the belly bulge, the waist belt can be angled a bit so its a little lower under the belly and a little higher on the low back.

You can draw the waistbelt somewhat tight and loosen the shoulder straps a bit to see if that helps distribute the weight more comfortably.

If you are very tall, you may want a different back pack if the shoulder straps will not extend enough.
