Here at High Mountain Camping LLC we have backpacks that meet all of your needs. We have fanny packs, day packs, small backpacks, medium backpacks, large backpacks, and extra large backpacks. Some of our backpacks are Greenwise and made from recycled material. Choose a Backpack that is sized by how much supplies you need to carry.Day Packs have a capacity from about 1,500 cu. in. to 2,000 cu. in.. Overnight backpacks & Expedition backpacks have a capacity from 2,200 to 5,500 cu. in. or more. Some of our backpacks have internal frames, others are soft backpacks. Some of our backpacks have hydration systems in them. This is a bladder that has a tube outside the backpack you can drink from without being taken out of the backpack. If you are out for a day hike some of the items you need to carry in your backpack are a first aid kit, compass, map of the area, fire starter, knife or multi tool, rain gear, binoculars, (optional), GPS (optional), water if no hydration pack, snacks, extra socks.
