Hello!
There has been a lot of discussion on rucksack size, but people normally post what size they use with a general explanation.
My question is very specific:
I am planning to buy a summer camping rucksack for 1-3 nights. I guess a size of 45-55 liters would be sufficient, but I really don't want to buy a rucksack that is too large.
So, my question to you lot who are more experienced than me:
The gear I'm aming for is: 10,5 liters for tent, 10-15 liters for sleeping bag (depending on the exact summer model I buy), 5 liters for self-inflating sleeping mat.
So what is the minimum size I need for the rest? Extra underwear, food, water, and other generic equipment (you know, knife, axe, saw, FAK, essentials and so on).
Is 15 liters enough for it?
How much does the abovementioned take up in your pack?
Thanks a lot for your help, I sincerely need it!
