New and need help between day pack or??? - 09/02/14 12:33 PM
Great board and wanted to say I have learned a lot from reading but have my own questions.
I have just started getting into backpacking/camping. I have only did a couple local hikes but no camping yet.
I plan on just doing little over nights like on weekends. When I have been going out I just put on my hiking boots and grab a bottle of water. I was looking at pack packs and I am a little confused.
I think a day pack with hydration will work but I would want something big enough to put a light weight tent and sleeping bag in plus food, cooking stove ect...I really like the osprey kestrel but not sure what liter size I should start out with?
Any helpful advise would be great!!
