I know this is probably a personal issue. but having never done much backpacking before I'm a little confused. Actually the most backpacking Ive ever done was in between classes back in highschool. lol. so actually, i'm 'a lot' confused.
I was pretty set on getting the Vapor Trail 3600, but without seeing it in person, its hard to tell if it will work well enough for me. I did see another bag at a Sports Authority that was a 3600, and tbh, it looked a little small to me, maybe its just my ignorance.. either way, i need some help.
Right now,
my sleeping bag is 1lb8oz and is 13x8 pack size.
The sleeping pad, (probably not a neccessity) is 1lb1oz and is about 4x12 pack size.
The tent is 2lbs9oz and is 5x14..
So that is the bulky stuff. I doesnt look like the weight will be an issue, but if I were to get the Vapor Trail, would that leave enough room for clothes and a week's supply of food, and whatever else would be neccessary? Maybe I should go bigger?
