Hiking Backpack

Hiking Backpack
How do you choose a good backpack for hiking?

Determine what you are going to carry, go to a good store that has several options. Get knowledgeable salesman to help you find a pack that fits you properly. Load it up and walk around for a while. It must be comfortable! REI is a good place, but I’m sure there are others.

If you want a LOT of opinions, check out one of the many backpacking forums. My favorite is http://whiteblaze.net/

Have Fun!!!
