Just a great backpack...

The North Face Crestone 60 Backpack - Women's - 3350-3650cu in

The North Face Crestone 60 Backpack - Women's - 3350-3650cu in

Rating for this product: 5 July 3, 2008

My son is 12 (5'5" / 110#) and is a very active boyscout. We live close to Houston and camp throughout the year, so our criteria was durability, big enough for a week camp yet small enough for the weekend too, and able to fit him for a few years. The backpack has top, front and bottom access points, and a big sleeping bag compartment. It has an ample number of clip-on points for all of the standard scouting gadgets, and is extremely comfortable on extended hikes. The only "issue" he has had is that the bottom access point has a hole on either side that stuff (socks, underwear, etc.) can slide into the sleeping bag compartment. Also, we did need to purchase a raincover separately, but have been remarkably pleased with the form/fit/function.

Mountain Hardwear Trance Backpack - 3350cu in

July 1, 2008

We too have the 12 y/o scout that is through his first year scouting and found the best pack "ever" (quote from my son) is The North Face Crestone 60 - Woman's in the green color. It has enough pockets to keep even the king of gadgets happy, top, bottom and side access, a bladder compartment for his 2L Camelbak and fits remarkably well. The separate compartment for the sleeping bag is big enough to accommodate the Mont Bell bag and isn't too hard to get it stuffed in with the big zipper access. I would recommend buying a rain cover for it too, since it didn't come with one. It has 3650cu in, which is perfect for the weekend or the Ben Delatour excursion, and the color is a pretty close match to the boyscout green.

Scout Master's Choice

Black Diamond Apollo Lantern

Black Diamond Apollo Lantern

Rating for this product: 5 July 1, 2008

I am a scout leader and needed a lantern that I could hang in the tent after calling for lights out, and still have enough light immediately accessible should I need it that wasn't just a flashlight (broader coverage).

Pros:
- incredibly bright for any form factor
- great collapse / expansion design
- seems like it will last (feels solid)
- single button operation works well (easy for big fingers)
- live in Houston and like the NASA theme
Cons:
- a little hard to pack due to being scared I'll crack the lens
- though advertised w/ rechargable capability, can't find it anywhere
- would be great to have an optional A/C source when electricity is avail.
- my son wants one of his own and is a bit expensive for outfitting a 12 year old.
