[at-l] Cna not find a light Backpack that fits correctly

[orangebug74@yahoo.com (Orange Bug)]

It sounds like time for a pack list, and what sort of thing you
consider too light to keep you on the trail, versus so heavy that you
loath the trail. While some packs are described as weekend trip/day
packs, they often have the room for a well considered long term hike
with fairly frequent resupplies for food. Have you taken your gear to
the outfitters to find out if it fits in the pack and how much the
combinations weigh?

Most of the lightweight packs are designed for lightweight gear, not
possessing the suspension and padding that my TNF Beheamoth pack
boasted or the features of side air bags and cappicino maker. You just
have to decide your priorities: Folger's crystals versus yummy steamed
milk and French pressed coffee. I really miss the solar cellphone
recharger and dehumidifier.
