As you can see from the photo, I still had foot cream, sunscreen, first aid cream, and Dawn Soap at the end of eight days. The floss is for size reference, but I’m looking for smaller floss containers. I despise plastic floss picks when I see them in the woods. Whatever you use should be placed in your trash bag and carried out. I use an empty coffee bag for trash because it’s light and can be folded down to the size needed.
Not the best choice for long trips or hikers who need to carry a large amount of gear. I tried actually sewing one on, but I don’t have the right size buckle to go with the strap, so might won’t hold tight. I might actually pick up another for my son to use. I also use a Marmot 20 liter pack which does have a thin hipbelt, but it is more limited space-wise and weighs a couple of ounces more. I’ve carried it in bad weather, including rain and snow. Some days this bag was heavier than I would have chosen it to be.
If you’re looking for a daypack, or a carry-on that fits everywhere, this is the deal. Especially at the clearance price you can get now. I drooled over all the lightweight packs from the major manufacturers for a few years.
This 65-liter pack is designed with ample compartments and organizing pockets to pack all of your gear and a lightweight internal frame for weight support. Plus, this pack even includes a sleeve that can be used to hold your hydration reservoir or laptop for when you want to take your projects out to the great outdoors to get some inspiration. Gear up for your next outdoor adventure with the Ozark Trail Stavern Multi-Day 65L Backpack. All though I’ve been hiking for years, my hikes have been short ones no more than a mile or two. Normally they took place at a green space or a nearby park. For these outings it was carrying a Nalgene bottle of water in a pocket or on a strap and large jug kept in the car for the drive home.
I did instantly notice the difference of carrying a lighter bag. I also don’t really prefer single compartment stuff bags, but, this works for what I need. Be aware, this is a daypack, intended for lighter loads and shorter distances. It isn’t built to be on your back 8 hours a day, and it won’t support 25 pounds.
At the end of the trip, the bag goes into the trash. I’ve been using this bag for over a year and love it for it size and comfort levels. I like how almost every strap can be adjusted to fit the user. Most of our hikes are seven miles or less but we are combing the hikes so I’m wearing the bag for hours. The trails have been up hill/downhill near vertical hikes to rock hopping and scrambling over rocky terrains and the bag has always stayed in place. With access to the Ozark Trail available year-round, hikers will need to prepare differently for each season.
Once I got home my wife helped me fit the bag to my size and shape. We loaded the bag up with everything we ozark trail backpack might need for a 10-to-12-hour day out on the trails. I checked stitching, zippers and all the pockets.
Having a separate rain fly for a 2- or 3- person tent makes sense because multiple people can split up the weight a little easier on longer hikes. With a 1-person tent, that doesn’t really make as much sense. After all, I was carrying the whole thing and so it might as well be connected. Essentially, the rain fly for the Ozark Trail was integrated into the tent directly. In the main pocket I keep my camera bag and jacket and\other clothing for layering (for colder hiking days).
