>>688502
Literally any small pack will do.

HEY THERE TNPEERS This is Nuttin' here

I just use a 10 dollar backpack from walmart. No need to spend $150 on another osprey or put miles on my Exos. If I'm doing 20 miles or less then I only need a pack to carry water and a few snacks.
rei flask 18. weighs probably less than a quarter of that tryhard milsurp faggot bullshit.
>>688583
And it's on sale for $20.
There on like the fourth or fifth version of that pack and I still see people on the trail rocking a mk-1 flash 18.
It's probably the single best selling thing REI has made.
Like others have said, any small pack would work.
I use a Deuters Speed Lite 20 which is a really nice but pricey pack. If you've got money to burn and plan on day hiking a lot (or use it as a summit pack), I'd definitely recommend.
for such a small hike you might aswell go with a shopping bag after buying your food supplies

Muh Lowepro 22L
room for camera and lenses all comfy-cozy and barely enough left over for day stuff, snacks, water, fak, sweatshirt & towel
Just use a hydration pack, any pockets within the pack shoukd hold anything you would need for a day hike.
REI flash 22's my go to daypack. Almost perpetually on sale for $30 and a good balance between minimalism and creature comforts. My only complaint with it is that the straps aren't very padded -- nice in the summer because they're super breathable, but they leave something to be desired in colder weather where I would take comfort over breathable straps. Picture is the new model which I haven't tried, but I can't see it being much different.
Fjallraven Rucksack No.21 medium
Karrimor xLite 15L latest model w/ padded backs and straps + blader pouch..
snug fit to my body.
Very light, but i think its a lil too thin if you decide to carry some heavy gears/dslr.

Go to goodwill/thrift store, find daypack that is not to gay or worn out already, buy that and use it.
That's what I've been doing for the last 15 years, I'm on my fifth backpack bought this way, I just use them until they start to look real bad or are obviously about to break then go buy another, most I've ever paid was like $5 for one that was new, still in the plastic with all the tags on it, last one I got was in super condition but the colors were too faggy for me so I bought it and hit it with the black spray paint.
If you do want to spend some money on pack that will last you for year and has a lifetime guarantee the osprey talon 18 is one of the best on the market. You can catch them on sale for $50 sometimes are buy used one ebay or craigslist, they will still honer the warranty.

I have a rush 12 like the pic (in black tho) and I have used it for 3 day hikes it works great and seems to hold up pretty well under the abuse
Mammut Trion Element 45L +7L
>>689215
meme brand tho
>>689393
>3 day hikes
>abuse
I'm afraid to ask what you do on a day hike
>>688583
>weighs probably less
"Hikes of less than 10 miles"
Still concerned about weight like a faggot.
This my friends is /out/

>contributing nothing positive to a thread, calling schoolyard names and trying to bait people into an argument.
This is /out/ my friends
>>689735
I'm UL so if my goal is 22oz in back for 10-15 miles.
>>689779
See, that wasn't so hard.
I think what I really like about the flash 18 is that it's great for day hikes but it also works great as an auxiliary/summit pack for longer trips. I use mine as a stuff sack inside my 55l and then break it out for side excursions or a quick peak bag.
>>689735
No sense in carrying extra weight if you don't need to
>>689735
>implying i'm ul
kek. last backing trip i brought fresh onions, bell peppers and a glass bottle of hot sauce.
but on a half day jaunt? hell yeah i want a light pack. what do you need for that kinda trip? water, snacks, a camera, and maybe a warm layer is all i bring. why lump that small a load into some bulky, heavy, hot, too-big, pack that weighs more than everything else you're carrying combined?
>>689067
Second. I just did this yesterday, while trying for early season mushrooms (Nothing yet). Four tortillas, four cheese sticks, and a quartered piece of summer sausage for snacks, plus my emergency kit that's always in my camelbak: two handwarmers, emergency blanket, water filter (lighter and knife are my EDC). I could honestly stay out for weeks with just this if there's some food around. You'll never need more for a day trip.
If something's short and i don't feel like using a pack, i use pic related.
Figured i had 2 packs already, may as well get something different. Just used as a haversack.
I mean, probably wasn't worth the money, but at least i shouldn't have to replace it.

a lot of their stuff is casual/meme but some of their packs are legitimately really good & competitive serious packs. talon 18 is top tier and the rei clone (flash 22) is solid as far as daypacks go, depending on how minimalist you want to be.
>>690166
I'm pretty sure the flash 22 has been around longer than the talon, but otherwise good post.
>>688502
I use a generic brand of a local sports shop, got it for equivalent of $25 in sales.
I'm very happy with it, it has a tiny frame and mesh back, the bottom pocket is ideal to store a rain jacket, I got two side mesh pockets for bottles (I don't like hydration systems) the top pocket has nice organizing features like pen holders and smaller compartments, which is nice for maps and stuff, and the main compartment is big enough for snacks, a sitting mat and some other useful stuff. even came with a raincover.
Still light enough and holds for years now.
>daypacks are easy, get one that lets you organize your stuff like you want it, and do not overpay.

>he doesn't want to experience the freedom of hiking with as little weight as possible
Wew lad
>>689615
Well its intended to be a 12 hour pack and I strap an good bit of stuff on it for a 22l pack
I would say it usually hits about ~30-35lbs (guess honestly never weighed)
Not really abuse but more than what it advertised for I ain't super nice to it but I try to take care of it so it lasts
I don't do many day hikes mostly weekend trips because I have to drive about 4 hours to get to where I like going /out/ (george washington national forest)
>>690396
>about ~30-35lbs
>daypack
>>690412
>23-24 oz
I carry that in the pockets of my cargo pants.
You are even more stupid than the 30 lbs guy.
>>690412
500ml of water is already 1.1 lbs.
What's the other .4 lbs for, a granola bar?
>>690409
The pack is a day pack but I use it for much longer trips... I'll have to check the weight next time I load up
I could be pretty far off on that weight (I wouldn't be surprised actually) but the pack holds it fine
After thinking about it
The pack 3 lbs I think
Tarp hammock 4 lbs (outside pack)
Sleeping bag ??? Guessing 3 lbs (outside pack)
Compleats meal website says about 300 grams so .6 lbs per meal I'll take 4 on a 3 day trip so 2.4lbs
Some Raman bowls (2) not sure I'll call them a half pound together
And 2 more meals of some kind I'll call it a half pound also
Snacks half pound total for food 4 lbs more or less
Half gallon of water 4 lbs ish
Water filter 1lb
Cookware 1 lb maybe? It's the aluminum set that you see all over
Clothes 2-3 lbs depending on weather
Assume about 2 lbs of other stuff like fire gear multi tools and other little things that add up
More like 25 lbs for a more scientific approach other than my shitty guessing
>>690409
>>690414
I think you both missed where I said that 30-35 lbs was for a 3 day hike anything over 5 lbs for a day trip (unless packing for multiple peoplel) is fucking retarded
I just use my day pack for those trips
For an actual day trip I would probably only have a Gatorade bottle, snacks and some random shit like multi tool, fire stuff, basic FAK and that's about all probably weigh in at about 2 lbs maybe 3 depending on if I'm going with other people or not
>>690785
>I said that 30-35 lbs was for a 3 day hike
Well, you dindn't, and you are backpeddaling now.
>>690864
Literally was my first post you trolling or stupid?
>>690864
Maybe it wasn't really clear for that but seriously who the fuck would have a day pack that even close to that much
>>690868
This says you used it 3 times for day hikes. I was the one that was questioning how abusive 3 hikes could have been.
