How do I know if my backpack is too heavy?

You can use the `assess_load_category` tool to categorize your load into safety tiers like Moderate or Heavy, or check if it is an Overload.

Can I use this to plan for a beginner hike?

Yes, the `validate_hiker_readiness` tool specifically accounts for experience levels like beginner to ensure safe load planning.

What is the best way to find my ideal pack weight?

Use the `get_optimal_pack_weight` tool and specify your target intensity (leisure, standard, or expedition) to get a recommended weight range.
