• Is a 40L backpack enough for a ~5 day hike with tent, sleeping bag, spare clothes and food?
    Water will be available along route.

    No proper hiking experience other than daytrips with minimal packing and i'm thinking of doing some hiking in northern sweden first week in september.

    Been looking at the Osprey Talon 44 but looking at alternatives around £100-£150.

  • yes, I've done this, but just make sure you pack light with everything else and use high calorie density foods and you'll be ok.

    consider montane backpacks too, I love mine
