. but it was just too big and heavy. The material always felt like despite being thick, thorny branches and whatnot would destroy it.

I backpack a bunch. One AT thru hike and a bunch of other stuff. Here are the backpacks I have used so far.

1. Osprey Talon 44. Still don't understand why this is not a more used ultralight pack. It was my pack for 2190 miles. It was trashed, I am not sentimental, I threw it away after my thru hike.
2. On the last 170 miles of the Long Trail I used the Granite Gear Vapor Trail 60 limited edition. Bought it because it was cheap. It worked well but wanted to get lighter. I let a friend borrow it a few months ago don't know if I will get it back or use again.
3. Gossamer Gear G4-20. Used it 14+ nights so far replaced the back pad with Various CCF pads. Worked well but not 5+ days or during the winter because of lack of frame. I still own this and will use again for everything 3 season less than 3 or 4 days.
4. Just ordered a HMG 3400 Southwest. I am thinking great winter and 5+ day pack and good for places you need a bear can.

<p>What is your backpack history?</p>

What is the best backpack? My history.

It in theory is international carry on size with detachable waist strap.  But holy cow they missed the boat on some CRUCIAL elements, chiefly a complete lack of compression straps and load lifters.  If you don't stuff it super full it flops around on your back, but when fully packed it bulges out and down and while the straps are padded and should be comfortable they don't balance the weight at all.  Also I'm not a super tall guy (5'10") but the waist belt hits at the bottom of my rib cage when the backpack straps are tight enough to stay on, not a huge deal as its removable but it means there is no help supporting the pack

it's more of a duffel bag than it lets on

 You might not think it by looking at it, but I got all of my clothes and shoes for an entire two-month road trip, plus a few items I picked up along the way. Packed inside this thing. you've got the main pocket here, some accessory pockets up at the top, another very spacious pocket for shoes, dirty clothes or whatever right here, and then a big front top pocket that fit a pair of sneakers, sneakers. And since we mentioned how many six packs and succulents you could fit in the last coat of Paxi bag we reviewed, I guess we have to make that a thing now

Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Del Dia Review: Fun and Functional (And Perfect for Travel)

 This is a big one. Seems like an afterthought in the design. Its one of the narrowest, flimsiest hip belts I've ever seen on a backpack (well, except for the 28L version which is more like a seatbelt). There is one zippered pocket that's so small you might be able to squeeze in a stick of gum (not exaggerating)

 Maybe the hip belt issue isn't as problematic for shorter torsoed individuals (I'm 6'11" and lanky). In any case, I'll probably be returning this for a bag that distributes weight to the hips better, like the Eagle Creek Global Companion.

. -Zippers are quite robust and very theft-proof. -Stowable straps. This is potentially a game changer if you want to pass-off your 35L backpack as a personal item at the airport

Nice bag, but mostly useless hip belt

- For a hike that is a few miles, I found myself constantly readjusting the straps. I REALLY wish the pack had top straps to bring the top weight of the bag in more. But this could possibly be resolved with what's chosen to be packed in the brain of the bag. I had all of my cooking gear in there

- I know some hikers would probably prefer a hard frame back, but the back was fine for me, just need better straps to support the weight. 

Used for Camping + Air travel

  The internal zip-up compartments are pretty handy for organization and may cut down on a packing cube or two, depending on how you pack -- but I still found myself using packing cubes for organization. The laptop compartment is just right and useful for a secure spot that sits up against your back. The pockets for the straps to tuck into is super handy in the event you have to check your bag and want to protect the straps. The bag itself was a hair bit heavier than I expected it to be, but didn't turn out too bad

Solid Travel Backpack

I've never used a backpack that strikes such a great balance of comfort, fit, organization, and design. When I travel, all my gear goes in my pack, from my socks to my laptop. I can pack everything comfortably inside my Allpa, get whatever I need when I need it, and even put it under an airplane seat.

So many backpacks, but I've never loved one as much as my Cotopaxi

Cotezi Hikes

* Shirt: I like the OR Echo, but also run super hot and think long-sleeves may be overkill. Anyone found a nice short sleeve option that works better for a covered trail like the AT?

**But what say you, Reddit? Where can I cut weight, where can I improve on my gear choices, what things just don't make sense for the AT – have I gone too deep into the UL hype and gone #stupidlight?**

 Initially, I didn't think I'd be able to do an AT thru hike for at least a few years, when I could start in March and do a more reasonable NOBO attempt. But why wait? I watched Jupiter's ["Why I Start Hikes Late"]([URL REMOVED] and realized it'd be possible to go SOBO with an August start if I'm willing to zoom.

* Tent Stakes: What works best for the AT? Should I go with chunky Groundhogs or are carbon stakes fine?

Shakedown for a SOBO Appalachian Trail thru, August start in &lt;100 days... Am I crazy?

 It tends to want to like stay very close to my neck, and I always try to push them apart as best as I could, because that feels the most comfortable for me. That'S why I removed the sternum strap on the pack. I might as well show you guys, I just feel, like I don't know, they're like on the wider side, so I'm always like carrying them like this, otherwise they would just wrap that could also just be like my smaller frame so yeah. I just wonder if maybe exploring the shoulder, straps and dislike the overall design would be an improvement and comfort at all

 Valley bars, as opposed to pro bars, which are a lot denser and heavier, and then avocados instead of carrying one avocado for each day that I'd be on trail. I would carry two or something like that and like split them between the days so little things like that, and so, even though this may seem like pretty common sense, I feel like if you're not super focused when you're in town resupplying, it's very easy to over Pack - and it happened to me countless times - maybe I can talk more about these types of foods and just my overall approach to resupplying in a more updated video. Let me know in the comments, if you are interested in that and then as far as actually limiting the amount of food that I'm carrying out in favour of comfort, I really just try not to do this in general, unless I really have to so. For example, a long stretch 5 or more days, but also stretch where there's not a ton of water, and I have to carry like 3 liters of water at all times

 So the other thing - I'm not crazy about the simple pack - is the shoulder straps, so they're very wide and it's kind of stiff and compare it to my hyper light pack. The straps are very close together, whereas on the hyper light they're kind of far apart, I don't know if this has anything to do with overall comfort or not, but I do feel like when I put on the pack. It tends to want to like stay very close to my neck, and I always try to push them apart as best as I could, because that feels the most comfortable for me. That'S why I removed the sternum strap on the pack

 The bone ended up fusing naturally over time, but my back has never really been the same. So here I am backpacking with this really heavy pack going up mountains and having way too much stuff inside the pack, you can imagine that I was not comfortable. Actually, I was in a lot of pain, yeah so fast forward, a few years to 2016, when I decided that I wanted to through hike the John Muir Trail, I knew that I needed to get a new pack, so I ended up getting a Deuter 45 liter Pack - and it was a huge improvement overall in comfort, but this time I'd also figure it out what base weight was and so base weight is the weight of all your gear, including your pack, food and water, and I believe I was right around 12 to 15 Pounds so at this weight and with this new pack there was definitely a lot less strain on my low back overall, I felt a lot better than I did before, and so this was pretty exciting for me, because the potential of having an even lower base weight Would mean an even more enjoyable experience for me. So then, when I got home from the John Muir Trail, I almost immediately knew that I wanted to hike the Pacific Crest Trail
