>>305929>>305931Hey buddy, I'm a relative amateur too and in a similar position. I've been on a handful of good camping trips/hikes but never had a good rucksack. A friend uses this brand and it was really good, I'm looking at the 'Berghaus C7 1 Series 65+10 Mens Rucksack'. Seems to have more features than the one you linked, with tightening straps and a water-cover.
