Is it cringe of me to dayhike with my backpacking pack? I love the thing. It's super comfy, barely feels like a burden to me (weight wise) once strapped up and all, and lets me carry everything I could possibly want. Obviously I adjust what I take depending on the hike's length, but I find it silly to have to need to pay for a dayhike pack and a backpacking pack just to fit in. Is it really that much of a sin to just go out with my backpacking pack for everything?
Do what you want, nobody fucking cares.
>>2752436This. Who cares? Also, do you know what dry run training is? You pack all your backpacking shit and just go for a hike. Just live life dude. We're all headed to the same place in the end.
>>2752436>>2752438I only bring this up because while I was out on a trip I overheard a pack of women commenting on how one of the people they passed had such a huge backpack (I was getting ready to head out, they were coming back in)
>>2752440>listening to womenDon't do that
>>2752440lmao what are you 12? don't listen to women. your chances of getting laid increase when you decrease the relevance of their insanity.
>>2752440>caring what womemes think about /out/
>>2752435People will think it’s odd and they are making fun of you behind your back
I always have my pack, mind you it isn't a big one, it fits well and I need it to carry a deers legs and steaks out in, should I be so lucky.
I think if i get one itds be a medium size one, those other onea while good can be at the poiint of too large and cumbersome. Just make two trips or dont be a cuck and survive in wild
>>2752435Get a smaller pack for day hikes. You think your full-size pack is comfortable but you don’t have a frame of reference. Smaller backpacks are designed to carry a load closer to the wearers center of gravity. They’re narrower, shorter, and rounded or tapered at the bottom (unless no thought went into the design, in which case the bottom will be flat). Your larger pack has to sacrifice that for space. And the issue is worse the larger your pack is. You can cope by cinching down your compression straps, but this is obviously just making the best of a mediocre situation.
>>2752435you can buy an appropriate one for 10$ on temu/walmart>barely feels like a burden to me (weight wise)bullshit. its 3-5 pounds heavier than lighter backpack. not to mention to extra sweat.what do you even bring onto a dayhike?I only bring water, walking sticks and maybe rain stuff and calories
>>2752533NTA, but my 48L pack is 2.3lbs with the brain (which I’ve removed). I still use a different pack for day hikes.>what do you bring?Rain jacket or umbrella, food, water, water filter, first aid kit, sunscreen, headlamp, hammock, change of socks, emergency tarp sometimes, fleece, beanie… so little that a smaller pack is absolutely justified. Not every day hike is a two hour stroll in nice weather, nor is it an all day affair starting at sunrise and ending after sundown. It’s not always during mild weather with no rain, nor is it always wind driven rain from nowhere. But the pack is always the same one.
i go on day hikes (short walks in the woods) with my Karrimor saber 60-100 with the rocket pods on, fully loaded
Whenever I see someone dayhiking with a backpacking kit I assume they're trying to condition themselves for the real thing.
>>2752440Why do you care about what random women think?
>>2752533For any hike where a day pack is suitable, an extra 3-5 lbs is negligable. Post wrists.
>>2752520>consooooomno pack without hip suspension will ever be more comfortable than a pack with hip suspension
>>2752458>womemesKek have an updoot
>>2752639>hip belts goodYes. Did I say otherwise?>consumeUsing the right tool for the job doesn’t fit the meme.
>>2752435I go on rucks with a heavy pack all the time. It's great training for bigger and longer trips. You'll be in better shape than normies who hike with a light pack or no pack all the time. Serious hikers do this all the time.
>>2752654Day packs don't have them.
>>2753005Therefore, day packs are never "the right tool for the job" except maybe on the normiest of urban strolls.
>>2753005Both of my daybacks (20L and 30L) have them
>>2753005Fucking retard, holy shit.
>>2753005
>>2752435>I love the thing. It's super comfy,Then use it and stop caring about what people think.
>>2752440sounds like they were mirin'you're in, anon
>>2753006>>2753005lol
>>2753005>Day PacksDO NOT FUCKING EXIST!!! HOLY SHIT DO YOU REALLY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT ANYTHING LESS THAN A 70 LITER OSPREY WILL FUCKING KILL YOU?!!! LISTEN HERE NEWFAG I’VE TRAVELED THE JUNGLES OF BOLIVIA TO THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA OFFERING THIS SWEET BUSSY UP TO THE NATIVES AND LET ME TELL YOU RIGHT NOW YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ANOTHER BACK SHOT AFTER YOUR SPINE IS FUSED TOGETHER AND WHEN YOU INEVITABLY TRY! SNAP!!! YOURE DEAD! FUCKING DEAD! BECAUSE YOU DIDNT LISTEN TO ME THE EXPERT!
>>2752435It's cringe that you care...
>>2752435Don't worry about it. I've dayhiked a handful of times while wearing my external frame pack loaded up with books, just for the heck of it.
>>2753620Based tome bearer
>>2752435>look at his backpack, his dick must be tiny
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH bubbas you're making me cry hahaha this board has apocalyptic levels of bubbaonic plague, imagine being this frail. The only thing I would add is you should always get a pack somewhat larger than you need as to have a little space left when fully packed for the trip.
>>2752435>he doesn't take his 120 litre milsurp pack on 40 minute walks round the park Ngmi
>>2756147Do you have your Rhodesian brushstroke gear on and a hatchet strapped to the side your pack?
I think it’s worth the weight to take pic rel if I know I’m gonna be day hiking too
>>2756151Absolutely
>>2756153>10L packJust take literally whatever backpack although that is pretty good value.
>>2752435Everything about this post is cringe but for different reasons.
