>>1389077>lemme just carry this 65L pack for day hikes>After a few day hikes, I think i can do a 40mile in overnightnigga just use a school backpack for day hikes. throw a couple granola bars in and bottle of water. not that complicated.
advice for first overnight is stay within a couple miles, so if you forget something you're not screwed. Also doesn't hurt to do a trial run of basic gear on your dayhikes before hand (like using your cookset to make lunch).
