Tim
I'm planing on going camping next week by myself , never gone normal camping before, only military camping. I know its nothing like military camping, I'm used to packing my ruck with necessities.
So is a 70 L bag to big for a 2 day trip? This is what I plan to bring
Tent- 4lbs,air matress, sleeping bag, (x2)(red lens) flashlight, fire starter kit, multitool, (x3) glowsticks, mini portable stove, (x3 pairs of socks), (x2 change of cloth), rain jacket, hydropack bladder, toiler paper, Towel, baby wipes, First aid kit, (X) paracord, GPS and Food/ water, 4.5 inch fixed knife, (x1) 4 inch pocket knife, bear bell, fishing rod.
Would all this fit perfectly in the 70L camping backpack or is it to big for what Im bringing and maybe get a smaller bag? Or invest in a larger backpack? your thoughts? Also if you guys see anything Im missing please feel free to let me know what else to bring.
Answer
That should be fine for camping. If you are hiking during your trip you may want to compact that down a little bit though. Space and weight are not big concerns if your not travelling far to your camping area. Basically, keep your distance in mind when you make your final decision.
Your kit looks excellent, but I do see a few weaknesses. First up is the GPS device, if it runs out of batteries you no longer have a compass or directions. For added safety you will want a compass so at minimum you can travel in a straight line if you get lost. I am not familiar with how loud a bear bell is, so consider a loud safety whistle of some kind (I realize getting lost is not a real concern if you have done military style camping before, but it never hurt anyone to be on the safe side, and it sets a good example for the less experienced.). Lastly, if you plan on day tripping be sure that a single bladder has enough water for the day.
Seems like you have a good plan. Enjoy your vacation!
