Hi guys,
I am new to this forum and to backpacking in general. I am very interesting in going out to do lots of different things in the future including climbing, kayaking, hiking, etc. Before finding this forum I went to EMS and got a pack on the employee's recommendation. The pack is a Mountain Hardware Dihedral. I wanted a good overall pack that wasn't going to break the bank and didn't mind if it was a little on the heavier side because I like ruggedness. I was just curious of your opinions as you guys know better than me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> . Thank you so much for your help and I'm sure you will find me here quite a bit.
