If you are an outdoor enthusiast, you will inevitably have a type of equipment around you, which is a backpack. Whether it's hiking, outdoor camping, jungle exploration, or other leisure activities, backpacks are essential outdoor equipment. It can hold many items and supplies, freeing up hands and making outdoor activities more convenient.
It has to be said that backpacks are a great invention.
Do you know the history and origin of backpacks?
In fact, in the Middle Ages, the earliest form of backpack was a tightly packed large pocket. For ease of carrying, people tie closed ropes over their shoulders, often used by farmers and shepherds in mountainous areas.
It wasn't until the 16th and 17th centuries that backpacks were made of leather, gradually taking on a square shape. You can refer to the backpack used by the flint gunner during the Napoleonic era.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Europe opened its doors to the world, and large tourist packages became a necessity for entering and leaving Europe, which led to the emergence of large packages.
Then there is the current backpack.
On the other hand, most people only need 2 days to explore the outdoors at a time. Even on the first day, hikers should bring enough equipment. If you want to bring enough equipment, you must bring something that can accommodate it, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
I don't know that some outdoor enthusiasts carry their bags not only during camping, hiking, and mountain climbing, but also in their daily lives, such as carrying bags to work or school. If you don't bring your backpack, you will definitely feel something is wrong.
When choosing backpacks, it is not easy for us to find the one that suits us among backpacks of different sizes and shapes.
How to choose a backpack that suits you
Many friends have this question when buying backpacks: "I want to buy a backpack. What do you recommend?" Before asking this question, we must know these four points:
How many days does it take?
What is the approximate budget?
3. What route are you planning to take?
How often do you use your backpack?
There must be clear answers to these points, at least avoid stepping on some pitfalls.
When using outdoor bags, there are three issues to consider:
1、 Ability
If you want to camp in a place for several days and have to walk a long distance along the way, without the need for horses or other means to pack everything in one bag, including a few sets of clothes, two or more pairs of shoes, some personal belongings, all camping equipment, food and water that need to be changed within a few days, and things that need to be increased or decreased in thickness due to weather changes, then you need a large bag.
If you want to go camping for a day, it doesn't take much time on the road, there are few clothes, camping supplies are small in size, and there is less food, just a small bag is enough.
I want to go camping for a day, but it doesn't take time and there are few clothes on the way. There is no need to bring camping supplies and there is very little food. A small bag is enough.
Large package volume: Above 60L. (A backpack as high as an outdoor hiker carrying a somersault)
Middle package volume: Above 40L. (Carrying a small trolley suitcase at the back, it's so big)
Package volume: less than 40L. (Probably just backpacks carried by elementary school students, or small backpacks carried by some girls on the street)
Secondly, functionality
Of course, you have to choose a hiking bag.
The same goes for mountaineering, choosing a hiking bag.
A large backpack, the most important thing is to carry it, and one cannot consider their own weight. If you want to be lightweight, it will be very expensive or have discounted functionality.
Carrying small and medium-sized backpacks is not that important anymore. The main consideration is that the backpack itself is relatively light.
