I drove up to Fayettville to look at some packs and tents at Water Stone Outdoors yesterday. Must say, Very nice folks
I'm torn between a lightweight pack like Six Moon Designs Starlite or something like my last pack which was a Dana Terraplane. I probably won't be going out for more than 3 or 4 days at a time, but a little extra space would come in handy if that changed.
I wound up trying on a Bora 80 Large. My torso is 21-22". They said it was "The Cadillac" of packs. I was able to easily adjust and snug it to a good fit.
Then we set up a MSR Hubba tent. I thought it was great except a little cramped. Add 15oz and I'd be in a Hubba Hubba which is 2 feet wider.
Any comments
