Hiking Backpack Water
Hiking Backpack Water
Which overnight hiking/camping backpack is better?
am looking to buy a backpack for overnight weekend/weeklong hiking/camping. I am a beginner so bear with me. There are 3 packs on my local craigslist and I was wondering if you could tell me what would be the best buy.
They are the-
Jansport Cascade 65-
http://appleton.craigslist.org/spo/11600...
Jansport Rockies 100-
http://appleton.craigslist.org/spo/11600...
Jansport Purist 56-
http://appleton.craigslist.org/spo/11600...
I am thinking the main things I need is space for my sleeping bag, sleeping mat, and tent. Then I can just squish in the food clothes and water wherever.
I am quite poor and this is a relatively big investment for me so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time.
P.S.-
Ive been on one hiking expedition to havisupai in Arizona. It was 10 miles each way. I'm thinking of doing things similar to this.
If that helps at all
as far as pack choice goes, i personally think the lightest would be your best choice. just because it's light doesn't mean it's not roomy. as far as price goes ( boy do i know the feeling of having to consider price above all else) buy the best pack you can afford.
personally i own a nebo wilderness 55 and it works great for weekends and week long trips. you just need to fine tune the packing and you can do anything with it.
good luck!
