View Full Version : Rucksack size
hi!
i am going on a trip to Iceland for around 10 days.
what size would you suggest for a rucksack (i am a small 15 year old girl)
i currently have a 60 + 10. is this too small?
thanks, Ann.
would have thought that size would be a tad to big for a 15 yr old,

Surely it depends on what your doing? I managed comfortably with a 35l sack to iceland for 15 days.
im camping for a week and staying in hotels the rest of the time
but we have to take a ton of stuff!! i wouldnt take half of it but the people running the trip say we have to.
Are you unsupplied during the week? If without food, it is easy, if with all food carried, it is easy.

the food is given to us when we r there - we dont hav to carry it
I would have thought that with clever packing and using tips and tricks from bikers (eg take your socks off at the end of the day and seal them in a plastic bag for 24 hours and apparently they won't smell when you get them out) and other tips (eg roll your clothes up, don't fold them - when you get them out they won't be creased) you could probably get away with a 40 litre bag. If you've a 60 litre bag then there should be no worries. :)

thats about right as its the standard size you would have for a d of e expedition and if you have a female fit one then it'll last you years.
make sure you suss out your packing, my missus filled a 65l to go stateside and I halved it by packing it better so she could get more in like her sleeping bag :)
its hidiously expensive up there so if you can and you have room then take what you can with you.
