[pct-l] Recommended Backpack Size

[David Ellzey]

Jeff,

We've done 10 days out of packs that size (60 liters) with no problems. Although we had bear canisters, we could have done the same amount without them. I am guess that for us, 5 days is ideal and 12 days would be the maximum we'd want to carry.

I'm trying to get my gear in order for a thru-hike (probably 2011... I can't
leave work this year), and I have a 3800 cu in pack.  I can get about 4 days
out of this pack.  Is this enough, or would anyone who has done the PCT
thru-hike recommend a larger pack?

Thanks!

Jeff.
