Claim:
A user-based carrying system capable of independent transportation of a load, comprising: an enclosure member having an internal region substantially encased by an internal surface, wherein the enclosure member includes an external surface opposite the internal surface; a user attachment system configured to releasably secure the enclosure member to a user, wherein the user attachment system includes a hip attachment system comprising: a dorsal articulation member comprising a front and rear member three-dimensionally moveably coupled to one another, wherein the rear member is coupled to the enclosure member, and wherein the three-dimensional moveable coupling between the front and rear members includes a restricted rotational coronal freedom, a restricted transverse tilt freedom, and a restricted sagittal tilt freedom, wherein the restricted sagittal tilt freedom between the front and rear portion is unidirectional from a substantially parallel configuration of the front and rear member; and a strap member rigidly coupled to the front member of the dorsal articulation member, wherein the strap member laterally extends around the waist region of the user and releasably couples at a ventral waist region thereby continuously encircling the waist region of the user.
