WHICH BACKPACK

This is the backpack I use for most of my trips:
Caribee Sky Master 80

Remember the reasons I explained in the video for getting this expensive backpack, you might be fine with a much cheaper one.

If I'm on a shorter trip that just stays in one climate and therefore I don't need as much stuff, I take this instead:
Osprey Fairpoint 40
