Are you an ounce counting Ultra light kinda person? Or are you like me and prefer to pack the kitchen sink?
My parents just surprise hooked me up with a new pack for getting good grades and just not being a "fuck-up" in general. I got an REI Mars 80L (4,800 cu. in). I'm going to packing all sorts of random comforts in this baby. I'm even thinking about bringing a full sized pillow on my 80+ mile trip, just for the extra comfort.
 (expands much more)

I'm pretty sure my mum has the same one haha. When it was full it was so dam heavy. I have a similar style but next time I go over seas, I wanna downsize a bit. I hate having to carry so much.
What do you take with you when you travel?
I think I'm just gonna buy a super light but warm jacket and pack as little other clothes as possible to keep weight down.

well this is an extended stay pack. It's intended for stays of 7-14 days without resupply in the wilderness. I have to carry changes of close, a full bearkeg, a lot of propaine, jackets for high sierra weather, rope, my small hookah, sandals, but that is basically it. I do also tend to go backpacking with my girlfriend and in that case I need to carry a lot of stuff so it's always nice to have a giant pack. I could buckle this thing down to the size of a 40L quite easily

I'm a "kitchen sink" kinda guy. I have a Gregory 'Shasta'. Its a discontinued model (I've had mine since the 90s). Its about 5000 cu in. When fully loaded for a 2 week excursion I can run over 40 pounds pretty easily. But that pack has never once caused me discomfort, even loaded that heavy. I tried a few other packs before it and never was as comfortable with even half that much weight. Some guys really get into the whole lightweight thing but I like to pack along all my extra shit. Carrying the weight was always a fair trade off to have my amenities at camp that evening.
Here it is loaded after a week in the Grand Canyon. We had just arrived back at the rim on our last morning when my buddy snapped this pic.

 I love getting to camp with many pairs of socks, my hookah, plenty of extra food and any extra's that pop into my head. 5k cubic inches is a lot man.
edit: just saw this picture man that backpack is a tank! You could fit a trio of 7 year olds in that thing!

And just as a sidenote- comfort during a trip is the most important thing. To some guys this means carrying almost no weight, but to me it means carrying the extra weight comfortably and having everything I want with me. A backpack is the second most important item, only your boots will have a bigger impact on you and your enjoyment.
I always stack it up like this when it come to order of importance on a long trip...
1- Boots/Footwear...never skimp here! If your feet hurt the rest of the trip will suck.
2- Backpack...not as important as boots, but again, hurting while hiking will ruin the trip.
3- Sleeping Gear...if you don't get a good nights sleep then it doesn't matter how comfortable you are during the day.
Beyond that most things don't matter much. As long as you are comfortable and eat well a trip will be a success every time.

Yeah, I think thats how we all learn it! 
I remember buying cheap boots and having the damn things fall apart on me in the middle of a trip. How I wish I wouldn't have paid attention to price tags at that point!!

Ouch! boots falling apart on the trail, talk about a shitty situation. I forgot my boots one time and got 200 miles from my house to realize I only had on skate shoes. Was not fun. first time backpacking up in Mineral king at 12,000 feet I brought a fucking 45-50 degree rated camping sleeping bag. Worst decision of my life. There is not a more a helpless feeling in the world than that of being freezing in your sleeping bag at 11pm knowing it's only going to get colder for 8 more hours.

actually we will all be carrying bear kegs, they don't allow you to hang your food in most of the area's we are going through. But yes, I always bring >100 feet of small, but strong rope. We never know why we will need it when we take off but we always end up needing it somehow.

I'm kind of an ounce-counting bring only the essentials lightweight gear kinda guy while still bringing some luxuries and comforts
Didn't feel like taking a pic but here's what my pack looks like,
Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian. I fucking love it.
3,800 CI, only weighs 3lbs 8oz. EASILY carries 40+lbs of gear that feels like air on your back, the suspension system is amazing. but I tend to pack lighter than that.

That is a light backpack!
I have a Bach Specialist,
Very happy with it. Sturdy, no-nonsense and fits like a glove. It all depends on your back though, I tried at least 10 different types/brands and this was the only one that felt good.
Boots first, then the backpack, completely agree.

I have to find a new backpack...the TSA literally ripped off my hip straps and ruined my top pouch. Left a little note claiming I agreed to let them mess up my stuff when I bought the ticket 
Good thing REI's been having all those sales this summer.

Osprey really seem to be top notch backpacks. Every one I look at just looks perfectly designed and well thought out. I have mostly thought highly of High Sierra backpacks, but my buddy had 2 straps on his break (chest strap and an accessory strap), he did have the kitchen sink packed into a 63L though.. so maybe it was over it's designed weight limit.

It could have been overburdened.. but even so packs should be able to go above their rated capacity without breaking.
Most likely what also contributed was he didn't have a good fitting pack. A good fit is crucial.
High Sierra makes some decent stuff, no personal experience with their packs myself, but then again I also haven't heard any rave reviews either.
Osprey is just totally solid, they've been in the game for a while and they make some killer packs. Same with Gregory.
I don't think I've ever seen a bad review for a Gregory or Osprey pack. My first pack was a Gregory and I loved the shit out of that thing.
I would also highly, highly, highly recommend Granite Gear packs. I  my Nimbus Meridian.
Arc'teryx is worth a mention as well. They make top of the line stuff. It's also pretty expensive.
But if you are a kitchen sink kind of guy, their packs are designed for massive loads. And they are practically bombproof.
this one, for example, or this.
As you can see, they are not for people on a tight budget, or ultralight hikers.
For me personally, ~250 to maybe about 300 is about the most I am comfortable spending on a really good quality pack that I expect to last for many many years.
Unless I was like climbing Mt. Everest or something..

I have a super cheap Wal Mart/Coleman backpack that works ok for me. Told myself once I wore some holes in it or ruined some of the zippers, I'd upgrade to a "real" backpacker's pack, but this thing has lasted 2 summers so far and really stood up to the abuse. Not bad for $75, I feel like I got my money's worth a long time ago.

I just picked up a Sandpiper of California Long Range Bugout Bag
Its way bigger in reality than it looked in the pictures to me. 6,840 Cubic Inches. This thing is a beast. Ridiculous capacity.
I wanted another pack to counter my lightweight (3,800 CI) backpacking pack. Something massive with lots of pockets, for my ultimate bug out bag. Something more militaryish than lightweight backpacker.
This thing filled that niche perfectly. 1000 denier cordura, double and triple stitched everywhere.. rugged as a motherfucker
you can just tell the material is hardcore and high quality, this thing will take some abuse.
More pouches, pockets, organizers, internal straps, nooks and crannies than I know what to do with!
A little bit heavier than I am used to (8lbs- just the pack), but I wanted something bulletproof and able to carry SHIT TONS of gear, which this thing carries fucking TONS.
Almost double the capacity of my other pack which I thought was huge, and a lot more options for keeping things compartmentalized and better organized.
I'm super impressed so far. Carries a heavy load surprisingly well

I got an Eastpak book-bag type backpack. I've had it since I was in high school and I think it cost like $25-$30 back then. It's got 2 zipper pouches on the outside for extra stuff that are perfect for the small stuff like snake bite kits and sandwiches.

Here is my Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian. This was on the approach to the Appalachian Trail in the Chattahootchee National Forest in Georgia. She was carrying probably about thirty two lbs at this point. Not very well packed I might add--I was still getting used to carrying that much weight. But, like Shroomism, I love this pack. Very solid, well made piece of equipment
and yes, that's a bike horn...

You know I was going to buy a Kelty, they were on sale at the REI near my house. They certainly are nice backpacks. The guy at the store loaded it with 35-40 lbs of sandbags and let me try it on, it held the weight really well. I'm satisfied with my Mars 80L though. REI has a great warranty on it, and all in all they are one of my favorite companies. (USAA is also another great company)

“Any system which says, This is a rotten world, wait for the next, give up, do nothing, succumb--that may be the basic Lie and if we participate in believing it and acting (or rather not acting) on it then we involve ourselves in the Lie and suffer dreadfully... which only reinforces that particular Lie.”
― Philip K. Dick

This pack has been with me for 12 years, traveled to 16 countries and is a perfect "No nonsense" pack. Very adaptable. I try to keep it to the 65L mark (which I think is packing heavy) and then save the extra 10L section for extra food for the longer trips. LOVE LOVE LOVE having this pack on my back. It's like a Hug from a longtime friend

i too have a cfp-90. with a patrol pack. i love this pack. i used to have one for years, that i actualy found in perfect condition being thrown out around the block from me during spring cleanup time. it was dark out and i was actualy in the market for a pack, as i was planning on hitting the road and traveling. it was pretty fucking crazy the way i came upon it. i just saw the outline of something camoflauge. had no idea what it was until i picked it up. i could get furthur into the story as it was mind blowing. i was actualy dosing at the time, and there was some trippy shit on the local radio station that coincided with my finding. it served me very well for years of traveling. was basically my turtle shell for a while. i lived out of it. somehow or another, a couple years ago, it was in my girlfriends garage, and there were a few friends of mine helping her clean it out and organize it. no one owned up to it, and im sure they didnt steal it, but i think someone thought it was garbage and threw it out. i had lost the internal frame pieces, but it was still in fine condition and i planned on figuring out how to order them. it was proly a lil dirty being in the garage, but i was so pissed it got tossed, if for no other reason than it had alot of sentimental value. anyway, i finally bought another one a few months ago, and this came with the patrol pack which is a nice addition. ive yet to use it, but certainly will this summer. been stocking up on good gear in the meantime. i got it off ebay for about 120 bux too. not bad. they are a lil heavier than alot of packs, but so rugged, fit alot and alot of spots for attachments with the molle connections.

Big Gulps! Alright! Well, See ya later!
