Did I make a mistake in choosing a backpack?
I found a backpack I really like the reviews of online--it's a Kelty Lakota 4000. Well, it's a bit smaller at 4000 cubic inches than my cheapo that I was using that had 4800 cu. inches, but seems much better designed. I'm just wondering though, because it took me until after I had ordered the Kelty to find out that my old one was 4800 (because it's an off brand and hard to find details on it). I was having trouble fitting everything in the old one and now I'm getting a smaller one, though because of the design, it may be better organized to pack stuff inside.
Well, is a 65.5 liter (4000 cu. in.) pack big enough to pack food, fishing supplies and other necessities in for a 4 day 3 night trip? I'm not an ultralight backpacker, so I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to turn around and sell the new one as soon as I get it. I do try and pack light, but without going to extremes.
