In the end, you can only choose your backpack. For he must (accordingly loaded) onYour backsitting well, and we can’t judge from a distance. What does not fit us well with you and vice versa. It’s like shoes. They must also fit your foot.

Go with your information (required volume, weight of loading) into a well-equipped outdoor store and let the backpacks show you the volume of which is sufficient for you and whose carrying system is designed for the weight to carry it comfortably.

Let the backpacks put test weights in the appropriate weight into the backpacks and put them there for a while. Keep in mind to set the support systems clean to you.

Sometimes you end up with a backpack model that you would never have considered due to the optics and the personal preferences (or also due to the predefined price frame). – But remember, you only have a back. Then you’d rather spend a few more euros for a backpack that’s really good and where you don’t break your back on the tour.

Here at a random manufacturer a few info pages on the topic so you have an idea of what I’m talking about:

This applies in principle to the backpacks of other manufacturers.

What you are looking for is not a hiking backpack, but a trekking backpack.

You can only recommend something because it has to fit your back. So go to the store and take a sample.

I got it Tatonka Yukonbecause the only one that was adjustable for my 44’s back (Bin 1,70m). The gäb’s also as a W(female) model. This is also relatively easy, because, for example, the hip pocket is only optionally integrated in the case of others.

Oh, finger off Tasmanian Tiger. There n kilos of strapping in the form of the whale system drags around in a senseless manner.

I find 75 liters quite violent. You’re on a big trip, not on an Andean expedition. The danger is great that you’re packing the backpack, just because so much goes in and so totally overloads you.

I personally am a fan of Deuter Quantum, but this is my vavorite, but it doesn’t have to fit with you and your demands at all.

But look at my principles for selection:

What do you want with such a big thing? What’s this all about?

I’m sometimes out there for a few days. I always got clear with a 45 – 50L backpack.

I got two Osprey backpacks. One with 22L and 48L. For day or day hikes.

Whether the backpack suits you? 🤷 ♂️

You have to try out like shoes and put the backpack and compare it.

Then a 2nd pair of shoes etc

You don’t need it. Maximum couple of replacement laces somewhere in the backpack if you should travel.

Shoes I recommend Trailrunners. Big, heavy boots don’t baptize. First, they need longer until they are dry. Secondly, one has to carry the weight step by step. On long distances you get so quick and easy bubbles.

With light trail runners, you can also travel a lot more agile and light feet in difficult terrain.

We’re 11 days on our way, and the clothes are often so dirty that we have to wear new things every day.

What are you pathfinders? 😅

If you’re out there for several days, you don’t have to change every day. That’s all stupid. The likelihood you’ve got rainy days is high. Outside in the woods, they’re soaked. The wet and heavy clothes you have to carry in the transporter of backpack for around.

The best is functional clothing that dries quickly. I always have a second set of clothes. Out of boxershorts and socks. As for every day new. Apply by layer or onion principle. The warmer is pulled out or on.

For 11 days enough:

1 light, water-repellent jacket.

2 T Shirts

2 long sleeves

2 trousers

1 sweat or fleece jacket with hood.

+ the underwear.

That’s all you need. Wet clothes best wear dry when wet. When you put it in the backpack, it won’t get dry and stall. It depends on temperature. If it has winter temperatures then of course take off wet clothes.

“And since that happens quite often…”

Oh, my God, what are you doing? Do you seal a swamp every day?

I was about for the duration of your trip in Lapland, where it was going through swamps all the time and only one jeans were involved. In the body, not in the baggage. And a training suit for the night. A replacement shirt and three clothing underwear. Completely!

It’s not about the wet. If the things are completely mushy so that it passes through the clothes we do not pull them again. And since this happens relatively often, we need a lot of clothes.

But it’s about wetness. Think about what 11 wet pants weigh alone. You’ve got to drag it all around with you. You’ll have a wet laundry basket with you. If you’re running and walking a lot and you’re still untrained, then the chances are high that you won’t spend 11 days.

Don’t underestimate that.

When dirt or some mud comes to your clothes, dry and knock off the dry mud from the clothes.

You’re sure you’re not gonna crawl through a slut… 😅
