It seems from the research I'm doing into my life's ambition that the backpack I've been planning on using is too small, not only in capacity but also in stature. it's an internal frame daypack made by Kelty, blue with a rounded top and side pockets and front compartments. The reason I say it's too small is partially due to the amount I will need to be carrying but also the shoulder straps are anchored too close to the hip belt and ride too hard on my shoulders. it is not comfortable for long hauls. *sigh* I guess I'll just have to save up for ye another expense, this time for an external frame pack.

For those that don't know, my life's ambition is to hit the road and live life as a hermit, as there are not any mountaintops left to claim, I'll be a wanderer, perhaps even walking to Alaska in a round about way. the drive for this dream is in part due to my survival interests.
