What do you carry in day packs? Backcountry XCd

[Tom M]

All of you talked about the equipment. But can someone recommend me a good and big backpack? All that I've found are pretty small.

I'm not sure how big you want to go, but I've been very happy with my Black Diamond Cirque 35 for day outings. They also make a larger one, the Cirque 45. They don't have a lot of compartments, so not the right choice if that is your thing.

If you are tall, you might look at Ortovox.
I’m 6’3” and all the packs I have tried end up with the hip belt around my waist, which I do not like.
I used the Peak 35 last year and liked it a lot, and in the regular length, the hip belt rode on my hips.
Instead of like most manufactures, their regular length is like a tall, and they also make an “S” model (Peak 32 S, for example) which is shorter.
Tall or not, I would recommend taking a look at these packs — they have several models, I liked the Peak Series.

This link shows their recommended use case, by model, so by them, for Ski Tour, you might also look at the Haute Route.

About 8 beers hopefully not over 6%. 5-8 joints. Extra layers for added warmth. Some meat to throw on the fire. Climbing wax, skins, knife, water bottle which I usually use to clean cooking pan or dump out. Goggles are always in my pack as well as sun glasses. Some rope and small adjustable wrench.

Food for a day pack: banana, cheese, bread, chocolate keep me satisfied until supper back at the homestead. Usually keep a can o' beer chilling in the trunk.

Sure, recommendations should abound, but what do you mean by a good and, especially, "big" backpack? You talking big day pack, or multi day pack? If you want to tell us either your intended use, or a volume range, you'll get some feedback.

Firstly, to put in a backpack a lot of things that I need, I need to understand that this requires an expensive backpack that could withstand it all. And as for what I pack there, everything is simple: I should always have water and food prepared in advance and delivered in kraft stand-up bags. After all, I monitor nutrition, and it is extremely necessary for me to eat 3 times a day because I used to have pancreatitis because I didn't eat enough. Therefore, life and the body taught me a lesson, and now I regularly monitor my diet. I hope I answered your question in enough detail
