    All depends on how much gear you're carrying and how much it all weighs.

    Hooch makes a good point. 3800-4000 cu in is a good range for starters. Go to an outfitter with your stuff and see what works best for you under load.

    Thanks! I often wonder why more people don't roll wheelbarrows down the trail- depending on how much their stuff weighs......hehehehehe.
