Looking for a new backpack
Ok, I'm looking for a new backpack for hiking. I have a Cabelas Alaskan II that works great but it's a little on the heavy side even empty. I mainly got it for hunting to pack my gear in and to use the external frame to haul out a kill (if I ever make one) I'm looking for one a little lighter for strictly hiking. I really have no preference on the frame type (external or internal), I don't need loops for ice axes or shovels. My only real need is for it to be able to hold around 40-45 lbs; yeah, I overpack. I'm looking at trips of just a couple nights with the possibility of trips 3 or 4 nights but no much more and I'm not super worried about the price though I'd like to keep it around $200 if possible. I'll pay a little extra for something I know will last. Anyway, if you have any suggestions I'm open. I also prefer personal experience to "I read in a magazine" Thanks for any input
