Day Packs and What to Put In Them - Greg Vincent

****

This article discusses the types of packs available and what equipment to pack for a single day venture. It talks about the advantages to a standard backpack versus a fanny pack, as well as waterproofing options. More in-depth, water bottle access and women's packs are also touched on. The article finishes with a great list of equipment to pack, and I suggest taking a look at it before going hiking. 

From this article, I have learned many things about packs and what is important to have on one. I learned about many items that are key to carry in your pack when hiking, and the specifics about packs and their straps and padding. Reading this article has made me really want to go hiking, and I will probably check the list before I go. This is a great, quick article that has a lot of information and suggestions.
