Climbing backpacks have to be light, durable, not too bulky, and also have a small number of small features-a detachable belt, gear loops, and a daisy chain externally, for example-that make sure they are “dialed in” to the type and needs of alpine climbing. In the event that you envision doing any hauling, a sturdy haul loop and thicker, abrasion-resistant materials become of the essence.

Control sweaty-back syndrome when you head out for that five-mile jaunt to the talus fields of Chaos Canyon with the Deuter’s custom Aircomfort system. This design creates a separation between you and the pack for optimal stability on long hikes and reduction of sweat.
Thinking the right pack can seem like a very overwhelming experience for a lot. Of reasons, there are so many packs in the market it’s kind of hard to narrow down which one is right for you I like. To look at three things when I’m picking it back first what’s my purpose I want. To make sure if I’m doing day hikes overnight trips I’m using it as a carry-on that it fits that specific reason then it needs to fit me and fit.
My body to make sure that it’s dispersing all the weight properly and finally, I wanted to be as comfortable as it can be when I first moved to Alaska. This was the pack that I picked up it was Deuter future pro 34 liter SL which. Sl on the Deuter brand is a pack line. That is designed specifically to fit a woman’s body daughter is a German based. The brand they’ve been in the backpacking industry for 110 years they have several. Lines of packs and what they pride. Themselves on is their air ventilation system their packs are equipped with.
This lightweight mesh system. According to the company keeps you from. Sweating it keeps your a cut your sweat down by about 25% now as I mentioned. It’s important for a pack to fit you properly and there are two main areas. Where that’s true. It’s important that your pack fit in. Your shoulders and in your waist because that’s where you’re going to be carrying the weight now this is the SL meaning. That it is designed specifically for women’s body so that’s a number of. Different features the waist belt is smaller than say a man’s pack too.
Accommodate that women are oftentimes smaller you also have slimmer shoulder straps. And they carry in a different way and then you have a smaller wound mostly. Have smaller torsos and so the s outfits. Petite torso one of the things that i. Found that I like pack opposed to a lot of packs is I find that it’s really easy to tighten it and. It’s also really easy to reduce it so. Say you’re layering you put on a coat and you need to loosen it a little bit you just kind of flip these back or you.
Take off that jacket and you need to tighten it a little bit more it’s able to do that there are a number of. Different features in this pack pockets. Galore which is what we always like to see on packs you’ve got this top pocket. Which is perfect for gear that you’re. Gonna want to access quite frequently then if you flip it open you actually. Have this SOS card which gives you important SOS survival advice which is. Kind of cool you also have this interior. Pocket on the lid which is designed to. Keep your valuables safe so I often put things in here that I don’t maybe want to access for the entire trip so keys my.
Wallet my id anything like that. Now speaking of keys on the top lid the. The pack actually does come with a key chain that you can hook your keys to however i. Find that it’s not something that I use very frequently which also pockets on. The side I can put the ear in there you got. These mesh pockets that hold water one. On either side and this side, it also has. That gear pocket now this is older. Model so it does have this front pocket. Which is an available on some of the newer models however all the models. Have this bottom compartment.
That they call the sleeping bag compartment now if you take that out you. Can see it’s a separate compartment but you can also unzip it and it gives you access to the rest so you can use it away there’s a number of attachments. That comes with Deuter packs you can get attachments to carry ice picks or. Trekking poles as well there’s as well. These that you can attach carbines to. To carry other types of beer with you. Whether it’s your coffee mug or something on the top one thing that I tend to use this pack for is carry-on. And also it’s a great overnight pack if you’re staying in like a hut or a cabin. So I’ve assembled some gear to kind of give you an idea of how much this 34. Liter pack and pull so I do have it. Hydration bladder compatible so I Already have my 3-liter hydration bladder in there the hose goes through. The top out the back and then you can. Clip it with this velcro and you can.
Actually, remove it and clip it to either side whatever is more comfortable for you do we have that in there already. You’ve got our sleeping bag in the bottom we’re gonna throw in our thermos. Our jet boil. A pack of some extra layers you can see. It starts to get a little bit tight. And finally every tooth throw in but a. Day and that’s worth food so you can see.
That is tight at 34 liters is all off. That but we do still have room in the bottom, so we have a number of options we could stuff more stuff under there, or we can unzip it, and we can make it one large compartment now we talked about. Our lid without easy access exterior. Pocket this I tend to put things like a. Gps in a satellite communication device. And always twitter paper now of course.
There would be other odds and ends that you would probably carry with you and there is still room in here you have. Some room in our side pockets as well definitely could put headlamps lighters. Things like that other snacks um but. It’s starting to get a little bit full but you could definitely it’s a great weekend bag now one of my favorite features of this pack is the rain cover. So say it starts to sprinkle a little bit outside you just unzip the bottom. Pull out the rain cover that’s actually. Attached by a clip pull it. Over your pack, it fits perfectly. And you are ready to go sprinkle stop. It’s easy to take off one thing I really.
Like is placement I like that it’s at. The very bottom and I also really like. That it has a clip say you’re doing a little bit of bushwhacking you’re crawling with your branches or things on a rough trail it just touches and rips. Off which it had happened before it’s. Still connected so it seems like you don’t quite use it this often than you. Just back it back in the big shot. And you are good to go now as i. Mentioned I would say that this is the perfect pack for say a weekend trip if. You’re staying in a cabin if you’re staying in the hot it’s perfect for day trips where you need a little bit of extra space it’s not necessarily the.
Perfect just day pack with friends. Because it is a little bit heavy at. Almost 4 pounds so you probably wouldn’t want to carry that if you didn’t need to however it was the very first pack that I owned and I used it exclusively for. About three years before picking up some. Other packs some smaller packs and some bigger packs and now I find that I use this exclusively for day trip activity. So berry picking or fishing are the.
Primary uses that I use it for but I do. Enjoy the Deuter brand I like the slim. Fit the style for women I think it fits me. Very well and I have other women friends that it fits as well and I would. Definitely, recommend and ain’t yours. Local store and trying it out. And see if it’s the right back for you.

The lightweight material is more durable than it feels and withstands the abrasive nature of the trail without weighing you down. You can access the main compartment through a vertical zipper or the roll-top, so your gear stays dry and easily accessible.
Hey there and welcome back to peace. Couch now as many of you aware I’m about to embark on the marathon disorder which. Is something I’ve been concentrating really heavily on for the last year or.
More as well as doing lots of training. I’ve been doing so much research on the amount of kit going to take and I’ve been testing a lot of stuff so over the. Next couple of weeks before i depart i thought I’d share some of those learnings with you and where better. A place to start than the backpack I’m going to take which I have decided on. The ultimate direction fast pack 20 now.
This is super heavy at the moment because it’s fully weighted so I’ve been training with but I just can empty it out and show you why I like it so much so here it is and it’s naked form. And this is what I like most about it is that it’s so minimal it’s basically an expanded running desk it weighs next to nothing and this is kind of one of the big deciding factors for me because obviously, I’m trying to cut down as much weight as possible 510. Grams okay now a great thing to compare.
This is the official war bag which a. Lot of people will be using MDF and in. Contrast it’s got all kinds of stuff hanging off it and most importantly the. Weight of it 900 grams that’s pretty.
The huge difference so this is nearly half the weight of the wire back which is an incredible saving but I’ve also decided. To make an even bigger saving on it there’s not much you can cut off it like the like a wild bag you can get the diseases to that and kind of trim off some weight but here it’s so minimal anyway but certainly the most notable.
Savings you can make it in the back there’s a bit of padding that you can remove, and they say that this can be. Used to sit on or even to you know used. To cushion your hips when you’re lying down I found it pretty useless. I’ve actually having removed this form. The back I’ve actually found the pack more come — boo and with it out so condition this.
That brings the weight of the pack down to give time a gram so I say 10 grams. Right there so although this fast pack is nearly half the weight of the wire bag actually fits way more in it and it’s down as a 20 liters bag but I think. You could probably push that out quite a lot partly because of the nature of this main compartment and how it seals its kind of like a dry bag has a velcro fastening that then rolls and then clips. In at the sides now I probably got about 20 liters in there now but you can.
Basically just not roll it down as much and sitting maybe another five liters. Into that main compartment, it’s not only that you’ve also got this fat mesh here. Which you can fit loads in that really stretches out and it’s a firm mesh as well so it’s going to hold things firmly in place I don’t tend to put a massive amount in there because I like to keep my weight closer to my back but it’s actually really good for holding waterproof or extra base layers that you.
Might be using during the day stuff that down there and it holds it in their lovely and secure on top of those two main compartments we’ve got these mesh pockets on the side which also hold a lot of stuff very stretchy and pretty. Secure I’ll generally use those side pockets for stuffing food and stuffing rubbish because even though I’ve got terrible flexibility I can reach into those pockets quite nicely so coming onto the front, and we’ve got two really great water pouches here it really surprises me how many ultra bags don’t.
Seem to have big enough pouches built in. For hard water bottles and maybe because they want to offer flexibility so that people can attach themselves but as you think this is a great weight saving thing to be able to build them into the bag that ultimates are it shouldn’t have done so as you can see — water pool. Tools fit there really nicely there’s also the option on this right-hand one if you don’t want to.
Carry two water bottles this zips back up again and there’s actually a really nice secure pocket that you could maybe put bars you could put all kinds of stuff down in there it’s actually a really brilliant phone holder you can put your phone down into their sip it back up and that’s super secure. But I actually find that’s one of the major downsides of its bad for me is that I’m going to be running around with two bottles most of the time and there’s nowhere for me to put my phone now I’m not expecting to be on the phone the whole time but it’d be really good to have access to music and stuff like that if I do want to listen to music currently there’s nowhere else.
On the front of the bag for me to put it. There’s this outside stretchy pocket just outside where the water bottle is but actually getting your phone into it. It’s pretty much a no-go really the best. A place for you to put your phone is there’s a smaller zip pocket on the side of the bag then it can go in nice and.
Securely there’s also one of this clip leaves to put your keys onto you know I’ve ever used one of these so the annoying thing about it is that it’s going to be too far away for you to reach when you’ve got your bag on so coming back to the front you’ve also got two smaller pouches below the water bottles so if I just take these out.
So you can get a better look so on the left. Hand side we’ve got zip and on the. Right-hand side we’ve got a velcro strap these are actually bigger than they look quite often I use them to dump keys and just have stuff that I want readily available, but they’re actually stretch out to hold a couple of bars maybe or you know something slightly more sizable approach they just not that phone but you can see I can fit two full Clif bars.
Into each one of these pockets obviously. One of the most important things about the bag is how comfortable it is and I get on really well with this and I think that could partly be because of the nature of these shoulder straps it’s actually one bit of fabric runs straight. From the base of the bag over them. Shoulders and down the front you can see it completely wraps around which makes it really comfortable all the way around and especially now I’ve taken.
That back bit of padding out it just molds into your body really nicely so one thing that it’s most commonly criticized for is that it has two chest straps but no waist strap and a lot of people will say that that creates a bit too much side-to-side bouncing when they’re running I can definitely see that point but I don’t really experience it too badly myself and I think that’s partly because I found a configuration that really works for me on the front here I tend to pack.
A lot of the weight in the bag place for my body to avoid bouncing if I do experience any bouncing I tend to try and adjust my running to be a little normal glider which I guess I see is a win-win situation I kind of want to be a little bit more glide ii so the chest straps themselves are actually really nicely adjustable they’re set into these sliders here which you can move them up and down so I found best. For security for me is to have one right. At the top and then slide the bottom one right down to the bottom and that kind. Of clips me in nicely either side of the rib cage by far my biggest issue with this bag is full of my decision to take polls to the MDS oh now handily enough.
There’s actually some really nice. Elastic straps on the back that hold them nicely in place you can put them down here there’s a capable elastic. Bungee that you can wrap them around and have them nice and secure on the back of. The pack like that but I know having. Poles on the back of the bag I will never use them so really I need to have. Then on the front straps but unfortunately on the front straps there’s nothing there that’s made to hold the poles so I’ve had to try and budge something to make it work for me now, unfortunately, I haven’t made life easy for my selves and I’ve got poles that fold into four sections which means.
That both the handle and the pointer at the bottom which means that when it’s. Going down this way there’s nothing really to hold on to the top of the pole so my first idea was to put a hook at. That I tied on to one of these things here and I took this string on the top. And then I tied it to the side that worked it was actually quite comfortable. But it was just so fiddly I’m hooking this and hooking it back on again I probably was never going to use my poles because it was too fiddly so then.
I tried other things I tried to pass them on to the front which is a terrible idea don’t try that it was awful and I also tried to fasten it down here somewhere which again didn’t work so my final winning solution simply uses two pieces of elastic one of which just ties. Straight around the strap and around the water bottle here and one which fixes on. To the bottom buckle over here and that one has a sliding clip on it so all we. Do is we take the end of the poles and put it through the bottom bit of elastic we tie that site then put the end over the spike which.

Welcome back to Outdoor. Adventures today I’m up here in southern Appalachian outdoors and picking South Carolina to guess the Marty fields owner of. The shop and a good friend of mine so today we’re going to be finishing up our review on the Gregory salad 24-day packs. And what we’re going to do is go through some of the pros and cons of this pack I’ll tell you right up front I’m very few very little wrong with this pack I really liked it well, and we’ll start out.
By going through what I carry and why and get this done trumped any minute all. Right welcome back guys. Let’s talk about what I liked about this pack have you several taxes with. The Gregory for a day pack. I found that I can carry anything over. And above what I normally carry which is in excess and so in some people’s mind. When it comes with date hiking will. Start by showing you what I carry this.
The pack is ready to measure for 24 liters. Which I found to be pretty accurate the 24 liters is way bigger than you. Really need to day hike but it really allowed me to carry the essentials and what I mean by that is I’m kind of like. Self-preservation if I get out we get out in the backcountry I like to have things and be prepared for pretty much anything if I get stuck there I want to know that I can survive no matter what. Kind of conditions is there are so hey we’ll start by showing you this I carry my fire kit everywhere every time I go. On they would consist of some fire-making materials here I carry a pin or any logbooks I might.
Run across on the trail they’re lighter that’s actually a butane powered jet. Lighter very reliable. And might go to item ferrocerium rod. Found very few situations that I cannot. Start a fire with a ferrocerium run they’re a very effective chuckle. Atwood if you’re familiar with bush crafting type skills this is an excellent fire starting material it’s a just resin impregnated pine and what. That one is and of course another blade I carry. Believe you don’t have a knife here you do at home so anyway that pretty much. Covers my fire starting kit and that’s. In the center all right next item I’ve. Got here very accessible some d all right here protein this is nothing more than some turkey jerky great source of protein.
And energy out there on the front, of course, the amount of food you carry is going to be dictated obviously by how far and how long you’re going to be gone water filter and bag I use a 64-ounce Sawyer bag with my little mini filter excellent piece of equipment and. Stand by got to have a knife gotta have a good blade in the woods in my opinion. And I never go now that this is a more companion robust made out of 1095.
Carbon steel one of the essentials these. Knives are great they’re very inexpensive one of my favorites actually. And you guys know I’m talking about here. Gotta have toilet paper well as my cook. Pot this one happens to be a little Stanley this one actually came from. Walmart comes on a very good piece of. Equipment $14 and my little go-the stove. And watch a review on that stove on a youtube channel as well this has two. Nesting cups which are very thick hard plastic which is lightweight but. Virtually indestructible, so we really like these you can cook in this.
We make hot tea coffee you name it can be dusted and next. First aid kit this one happens to be. Military in nature I have pretty much. Anything in here that short of combat. Lifesaver yet you know we can treat any basically any kind of cut up into stitches I can’t do stitches but any. Minor injuries we can pretty much cover with that’s a whole nother review in its own, so we will get into that to also state I can always carry my you. Know love hammock I can’t say that our. Camping that but I do have it just in. The case I find a little too big for the email to be staying multiple days on the trail, of course, my atlas straps for you know cordage always carry good cordage.
With me and that’s for sure. Never know when you might need an extra. Flow in case it rains or whatnot and. Along with that express oxi like to. Carry my little small Nikon binoculars with me I just like watching wildlife and of course, you never know when you might need to see something far away so these are great these are little ten power great for the trail and of course. Flashlights got them a little tack light here I’m. Not really sure what Brandi just says j5 tactical light I think I bought it online and one of the essentials to me.
And the score is having a bushcraft type mindset I have my little grants poor’s. Brooks mini hatchet it’s absolutely one. Of my favorite tools, I can pretty much do anything that I think I could do. With a knife with this tool for a. Hatchet this is razor sharp literally will shave you clean which is with a nice tool to be fine carving with it and. Split firewood with it just almost a necessity to me and of course I always.
Carry a thousand-milliliter water bottle at minimal this is the Nalgene brand and. I could look at that’s it and you can. See on the bottom of the pack this pack has lasting points on the bottom for anything you might need and I just happen to carry by a little flex like a chair I need a place to fit anyway. Talking about the pack itself this seems.
Excessive I know to most people as far as day hiking but it is my mom said that. With this equipment, I can pretty much encounter anything I have the tools I need to build a shelter if I want you I have enough food, I have fire making the material I have a place to sleep in the hammock if I need to so I go prepare. Water filter you know this is. How I do it this is no right or wrong way to hike it’s just my way of doing it. One thing I like about this pack is this. Gregory sack is very lightweight I’m not.
Sure what the spec says or we should. Look at but the pack itself is very lightweight it’s very well-made you know 24 liters. Is big enough to carry all of this stuff. And if you’re not an inclusive type day. Hiker like I am then you could fit. The clothing you can put anything you want to and this is how I do this offer he comes with a mesh suspension system that. They call their free span it was very nice.
I found that on the trail it kept. My back nice and cool even when you know. Going up strenuous steep sections of the trail I found it very nice the pack was. Very comfortable it fits well oh I’m 511. I weigh about 220 I’m kind of short. Waisted myself so this particular pack. Fit me very well I believe this one here. This is the men’s. Okay, I believe it’s just a one-size-fits-all in the day pack but I believe that this pack would fit the majority of you know your average guy say which that’s kind of what I am so very nice but I like how they have on. The waistband they have nice pockets here you can put a phone there.
If you choose anything small knife and on both. Sides which is nice also I like the top pack that pouch. Up there you know I put some of the essentials in it a lot of times I like to carry stuff that I want to get to you really quickly like my knife you know fair socks you know toilet paper is just. A small essential up there and of course. The main pack has had tons of room in. It how obvious if you can expand that you know it works very well it also is. Equipped with a hydro bladder you can. Fit a pretty significant water bladder. In here if you desire which is nice i. Particularly don’t carry them a lot of people do guys another thing I want to.
Show you is here southern a select amount or he carries a variety of these packs this is another Gregory also this is a sailboat as well this one’s an. A team leader it’s a little smaller in volume same features it doesn’t have the expanded waist belt just because it’s. Not as you’re not going to carry in here as much weight on this type. This one is the world. This is also a solo 24 men’s packed. Different color schemes the only difference about that’s actually pretty cool anyway either I’d have to say that i. Would give that Gregory packing nine out of ten and I think yes grid dating for.
The money I think retail here at the store this is a 115 so good value if you. Look at other different brands you’ll find that’s very comfortable and actually maybe a little bit less expensive than some of the other brands as well the same feature-packed item nothing. I want to mention too is versus some of. The other packs that I’ve used as well this one has the five pouches that are. Actually big enough to fairly easily put.
A thousand-milliliter water ball in each side without compromising you’re internal. Space so I found that to be very nice as well yeah anyway this has been andy with. Mossy back outdoor adventures here at southern Appalachian outdoors here picking South Carolina right on the main street can’t miss it combined steve Marty and everybody here, and they’ll do you right I promise. Thank you talk to you later you
