What backpacking backpack should I get?

Go to a real outdoor store. REI does a pretty good job of this and have yourself meausured and fitted for a pack. It really all depends on how it fits you.

was that outside cimmarron perchance? I think i've hiked there too!

me too :thumbsup: 80 miles over 10 days. Lots of fun 🙂

I forget exactly the number of miles but it was like 65 over 10 days... It rained nearly every day and only had a vulcanized rain coat; VERY hot!

I would also recommend REI, or possibly L.L. Bean

I say whichever backpacking backpack packs the most backs in the pack on your back.
