Grab a hydration compatible backpack for $13.96 or Go Bag for $15.53. MY ITEM ARRIVED DAMAGED We do ship every item with extra padding. Despite this, our customers report that around 1 in 1000 products arrives damaged due to mail service mistreatment. While this pack may not be big enough to carry all the gear you need for longer treks, it offers many of the features you would want at a good price. Because it's basically a single compartment stuff bag, I did have to make sure the items inside were distributed properly. We are ThriftyKing LLC and we offer the best prices on the internet. Our company started in the fall of 2022 when our founders Brittney & D’Andre Ruth decided it was time to do something great, not only for their child but for you as well. Make sure to let a friend or family member know what you’re doing and where you’re going. Tell someone how many days you’ll be gone and approximately where you think you’ll stay each night. Physically check in by filling out a backpacking card at dedicated trailheads. Also, learn the seven principles of “Leave No Trace” to keep the backcountry beautiful. I backpack in the backcountry of the Sierra Nevada. And I do day hikes in Sequoia National Park and on the coast. I sweated just a bit but not too much since the walk was short (and I didn't want to sweat after a shower). I use this pack on a daily basis to carry my office clothes while I ride my bike to work and to carry light loads while out Geocaching. If you're looking for a daypack, or a carry-on that fits everywhere, this is the deal. Especially at the clearance price you can get now. When you do have to answer the call of the wild, make sure to stay at least 100 yards away from a water source and bury any solid waste at least 6 inches deep. Backpacking stoves are a convenient way to boil water for dehydrated meals and instant coffee without adding a lot of weight to your pack. Trailspace's community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top daypacks. I bought this pack recently on a whim while shopping Walmart. I needed a day pack and didn't really have lots of time to search at REI for the various styles provided having only gone to one store. This daypack ended up being the cheapest after a quick perusal. I was a little concerned with how the straps would distribute weight. Prior to taking it out on the trail, I did give it two coats of silicone spray so that it would shed water. Packing-wise, I chose to line it with a garbage disposal liner. The Ozark Trail is a hiking, backpacking, and, in many places, biking and equestrian trail under construction in the Missouri Ozarks in the United States. It is intended to reach from St. Louis to Arkansas. Over 350 miles (563 km) of the trail have been completed as of 2008, and the estimated length when finished will be at least 500 miles (805 km). The only issues I have with the bag is that the stitching isn’t as good as you might find on the more expensive bags and its weight. The more expensive will use higher quality materials that are generally stronger and lighter weight. Then it’s worth it for me to have a smaller bag. Just about every other daypack I've had falls apart under the weight of my books (med school). I also like the fact that for my outdoor activities, it's designed to hold a hydration bladder. It even has a rain cover built in, which is great when I'm riding my bicycle across town on a rainy day.
