We are a part of something larger and that gets mistranslated in modern day living. I take some time to stretch before getting out of bed today. The inflatable pad and smaller tent leave less room for me to stretch on trail, so I often skip this routine. At a price point of $79, it’s unlikely you’d be able to find anything else that’s brand new, competes with its features, and costs less than $100.

Turns out these trails are out and back, so the total miles were doubled. Each trail was identified as a backpacking trail so I assumed that the total trail miles was going in one direction. Though Washerrr and I have hiked 25+ miles in one day, it was never easy and I find myself relieved that we only have 9ish miles to go for the day.

This daypack ended up being the cheapest after a quick perusal. I drooled over all the lightweight packs from the major manufacturers for a few years. There’s no way I can justify paying five times more for something that might carry just as well. I plan to pick up another if/when this one wears out. For the second overnight hike in which I used the pack, I left the hammock at home and stuffed an REI Stratus insulated pad and lightweight bivy inside.
