yes, the pressure from the weight of the backpack rubbed against her skin as she walked.

Re: What caused the bruises on her back?

I take it you never hiked with a heavy pack. I was watching this again tonight, it gave me flash backs of the first time I tried hiking with a loaded pack. I thought it would be fun to fill my pack with about 60 or 70 pounds of stuff. About a half a mile in to my hike and I felt like I was going to die. This was I was when I was 18 and in pretty decent shape. I gained a new appreciation for hikers after that trip.

You never served your country, this is certain.

The first time we did a serious road march with full rucksack in the army, almost all of us had these bruises.

Depends what sort of ruck you have and how you have the load distributed.
