How do you choose a backpack?
Ryukzak is the most loyal friend and traveler satellite, the main attribute of any kind, which is why his choice should be given the highest priority. Ryukzak's taking over the traveler's house, making him comfortable, but it can turn the walk into torture. Whatever happens, you'll have to learn the art of choosing a backpack and the skill of his layout. But if the latter is done mainly by practice, it is possible and needs to be prepared in theory for the purchase of a blank.
There's no universal backpack for camping, so let's figure out what's best.
Selection of the backpack
The selection of a tourist backpack should be treated with special care. This is the most important purchase from all the equipment. A convenient backpack greatly facilitates the transport of the goods, maintains a healthy back and a lumbar. The choice of the model, volume, external hinged and suspension of the backpack shall be determined by the terms of reference, i.e. its purpose. Before you buy a backpack, you need to determine which targets you need and under what conditions you will operate.
Volume and purpose of the backpack
First of all, we're determined with the volume of the backpack. The edges of size are the same. In order to put all the necessary things in a small backpack, you've got to be able to keep them busy, and still, many of the things left behind will have to be put outside. Too big a backpack would be completely unnecessary, poisoning its weight. The optimum volume will depend on the type of tourism, the age, growth and gender of the tourist, its preparation. For adolescents aged 10 to 13, the volume must not exceed 40 to 50 litres, for boys and girls between 14 and 17 years, 65 to 80 litres, for boys and girls Day of holidaythe country trips are enough. 40-65 litres♪ The following volumes are usually recommended for more serious traffic:
- Pedestrian tourism: men 80-130 l, women 60-80 l;
- TourismMen 100-110 l, women 65-80 l;
- Water and skilled tourism: men 130 l and above, women 80-100 l.
Of course, individual physical characteristics must be taken into account: it may not be possible for a fragile guy to carry a 70-litre backpack, and a cute girl and a 100-litre is not a hike, say, a Crimean egg.
