Backpacker Magazine Gear School: Fit A Backpack Right
What backpacking gear is ideal?
I'm looking to get into some heavy duty backpacking and was wondering what type of gear would be ideal. I am mainly looking at footwear and backpacks.
First, footwear. Which would be ideal? I see a lot of the brands have actual "backpacking" boots, which seem to be quite nice sturdy boots. Would these be best, or would I be better served with something a little lighter and cooler? I will most likely be hitting some warmer areas.
As far as a backpack, I am just more curious about the size. I see that there are a ton of different sizes, and I'm thinking 80 litres as I intend to take some pretty long trips, would this be overkill?
Go with a smaller backpack. You'll realize that all you need really is a sleeping bag, a tarp and some raingear. A good idea would be to get an emergency blanket. Its a metallic plastic blanket that folds up to size of a deck of cards but it reflects 90% of your body heat back in. Really good if all your stuff gets wet and you're cold.
As for shoes/boots just go with the ones your usually wear. I bought the most expensive pair of hiking boots I could find and I've never had more problems with my feet in my life. I was walking from Toronto to Vancouver though with is a pretty big hike. However, I walked from San Diego to the Canadian border once in dollar store running shoes and never had any feet problems. I've been told that foot powder or cornstrach in your shoes is a good idea for long walks because it helps dry out some of the moisture and that helps prevent blisters. the best boots I've ever ahd in my life are Doc Martens. They hurt a lot while you break them in but after that they last forever and are really comfortable.
As for backpacks, don't get the one's with the metal frame. the frame helps distribute weight a bit but its a lot nicer to have something soft against your back. The frame also holds the weight out from your body making it a bit harder to carry.
