>>958742I guess I went the other direction than a lot of the anons here. My first bag was a cheap walmart bag that couldn't have spent more than $30 on. It was basically just big enough for a camelbak, some food and a tarp tent if that was my thing.
Eventually I wanted to do a few nights with the gf, so I got an 80L from Kelty. I'll never need more backpack and if I want to pack less, I just pack less. I don't even use my small pack right now, and it'll probably end up an emergency bag for the truck when I get around to packing it.
Here's a picture of me being an idiot.
