Today it is time for number six, and maybe you about backpacking can get some tricks…

Today I will write about backpacks. First of all you must consider the seize of your backpack, what will you use it for. Normally a 35L backpack will be enaugh, but if you are heading into the mountain you may need 45L. The back length will be critical part it is good to mesure, and test the backpack when it fully packed. Mesure from the protruding vertebra in the lower neck, to the lower back in level with top of the hip bone. One of my tips is to choose a small backback. The risk is otherwise that you bring to much gear:-).

The choice of backpacks depends on activity…

Another thing that can be good, that is to have some spare parts, a coarse neddle and patent strong yarn. Additional buckles is also good to bring in the spare part pouch. The trademark of the backpack really dosent matter. It is rather the fitting and solvent details decide which one you shall choose.

This one Haglofs ROC ICE 35L is one of my favorites. Gearloops, iceaxe mounts and a pocket for crampons….

And about the training: three workouts today totally 3 hours and 15 minutes…And you dont forget, tomorrow it is this weeks event….

See ya
