>>2334268Find someone who is doing exactly what you want to be doing and emulate that as a basline, tweak based on expense and then based on experience. Don't buy an opsprey or miltec.
Everything else is viable. ALPS. Rei, Mystery Ranch, Emberlestock, Gregories.Wilderness Equipment, Northface, Kifaru, Deuter, Ortlieb, Tasmanian Tiger, Granite Gear etc
Laods of options but avoid osprey like the plague. Just my two dollars which is worth more than the shills 2 cents.
Don't trust anyone shilling hyperlite or osprey. Know that you are being told to buy a brand that unironically has a near 400 usd tarp. This is the shit that needs to be shat on and stamped out. Let your sensible mind prevail and know when something is Iphone teir stupid and overpriced. The drop off of performance vs the prices they ask is a scam.
Not everything is a thru hike, not everything is ideal conditions. You want something that can take a few hits and make it to you next trip reliably. Emulate those who are doing exactly what you want to do, not r/alltrails users.
