[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 155176, member: 10982"] A couple of really simple rules of thumb on backpack size: - for summer you need as many litres as half your walking body weight. Eg, if you're 80kg, you will need a 40li pack. - for spring or autumn, add 25 to 50%. In the case of our example, between 50 and 60 li might be required. - round up. If you round down, expect it to be more difficult to pack everything you need to take. These 'rules' will result in a pack size capable of carrying a 10% of body mass load at a packing density of 200gm/li (summer) or up to 15% (autumn/spring). If you are going to carry a sleeping bag, add up to 5li. If you can afford really light gear or are the sort of person who can sleep naked on rock, walk barefoot and catches small animals for food, take off up to 5li. Regards [/QUOTE]
