Kelty Red Cloud Backpack - 5000-6650cu in

Great suspension, hip belt pockets, a sleeve behind each side pocket allowing you to secure long items easily into the water bottle pockets, front access panel, and tons of ways to compress your load make this my favorite pack I've owned as well as the most budget friendly.

water station
Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter
April 1, 2009
i found the easiest way to use the hiker pro was to sit on a rock and use 2 containers in between my legs, one for dirty one for clean, the dirty water i let sit for a few minutes to let any sediment settle, then i put a coffee filter over the prefilter secured with a rubber band to prevent any tiny particles from being sucked in. the water started out dirty and rust colored, and came out clear and clean, and since i used a coffee filter both the main filter and the prefilter look brand new. just remember to run a partial bleach solution through the entire system after each trip and let dry completely before storing. excellent product, 10/10.

On the 2009 model you can slide a rifle/fishing pole behind the side pockets into the mesh water bottle pockets. When not in use a velcro section closes off that access so you can have extra pockets behind the side pockets perfect for maps or other flat items.

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter
April 1, 2009
All I do is throw a small hand warmer into the storage bag before the temperatures drop at night and so far I always wake up with an unfrozen filter. This has worked down to 10F and I'm sure a second warmer would work if it got even colder.
