I'm considering a 2004 northbound hike, and I've been researching backpacks. I'm sorry if someone already posted something like this - I'm a newbie, please forgive me.
Making the decision much harder is the fact that in August I'm spending time in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. I really need a pack that can handle both BW and AT. Meaning I need light (for the AT) and waterproof (essential for Boundary Waters). I wonder if such a thing exists, or am I better off with two different packs? (Oh, if only money grew on trees.)
Any words of wisdom? Thanks for your time.
