BACKPACKING AND CAMPING?

Q. I WILL BE GOING ON A BACKPACKING TRIP WITH MY BROTHER IN JULY FOR 4-5 DAYS HIKING ABOUT 12-15 MILES AND LAST TIME WE WHEN I WAS VERY UNCONFORMABLE BECAUSE MY BACKPACK I WAS WODERING WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD BACKPACK? THANK YOU! =)

Answer
I've owned a number of backpacks but by far my favorite has been the Osprey Aether 85 Pack. This back combines comfort with maximum load capabilities. For me, it really has been the Rolls Royce of backpacks.

Here are a few other owner reviews I was able to find on this particular bag:

"I got this pack for a 75 mile backpacking trip in New Mexico (Philmont). I have taken it on a couple practice hikes and it is incredibly comfortable. I love how little it ways."

"I've had the last generation of this pack for about 4 years. It's been to about 10 countries, up Mt.Kilimanjaro, conquered the JMT, 4 day kayak trip, etc... This is THE best large extended trip pack on the market. Pay the extra $ and thank me later."

"I just went up Mt. Whitney with this pack and I really liked how comfortable it was and how well it fit. When I got to the top, my shoulders and upper body felt fine. The pockets and straps were conveniently placed. Balance was good and my back had good air circulation."

You should absolutely go in and try on a few different bags and find out what works best for you. However, I can tell you from personal experience...this one is a goodie!

Happy Trails!

Adventure summer camps....& reviews?

We're a te

I'm just checking out high schooler's summer adventure camps...
Anyone know of any they've heard of, or been in, and loved?
Also I'm looking for sites that have reviews from the teen's experiences.

(These camps being overnight, where you don't just stay in a cabin/hotel but you camp and hike and backpack and rock climb...)

Thanks for your help!

*Yes, I have googled, but I also would like somone else's opinions on what they think sounds like a good camp, or was great!*

Hello!

I don't know if you're familiar with Teen Tours, but that's what is sounds like you are talking about. This essentially allows students to travel with a backpack and a group of people their age through a certain part of the world. For instance, when I went, I saw the southwest area (CA, AZ, NV, UT). I used this website http://www.choicecamps.com/travel-programs to find my teen tour trip. You should check the website out, it's actually really helpful. You can narrow down the kind of trip you are looking for and search the area you want to be in. You can view pictures, watch dvds, and find our more information on the website.

I hope I helped and let me know if you have any more questions.
