[at-l] Pack size in cubic inches

[DaRedhead@aol.com]

I realize that this is probably a personal preference only, but I'd like to
get an idea of what is the average cubic inches of packs carried by thru
hikers, for internal and external.  I have seen widely varying statements
about what is ideal or normal - from 2000 cu to 6000 cu  - so I am a little
confused on this.  When mom and I are looking in sales catalogs from places
like LLBean, Campmor, etc - we don't know how to judge if the pack is the
right size, or close to it.  I'll probably figure this one out when we stop by
Rockfish Gap Outfitters in Waynesboro next weekend - but I guess I'd like to
know now :)  (patience is not one of my more endearing qualities)  I know my
pack is perfect for me - but I bought it 6 years ago, don't have the
documentation that came with it, JanSport doesn't carry it anymore, so I don't
have a clue how big it is in cubic inches :(  Any help here from the thru
hikers?  What size pack did YOU carry? <g>
