Hey all! I'm very interested in the Terra 40 or 60 for weekend camping (3-4 day). It seems like either of these packs would work. Any other ideas for a weekend pack for 3-4 days, holds sleeping bag, same amount of room, but also has a break away pack for hiking? Also, what are your thoughts on TNF Extreme 60 backpack?

Unless you have minimalist gear or your friends are the "pack mules", the 40 doesn't have enough room for a 3-4 day hike, I'd say more like a day or two at most. I have used an REI Gemini 50L (which has a break-away pack) during the summer months on a 3 day trip with no problem but I worry about room for winter trips. My Osprey Atmos 65L barely had the room. I'd go for something bigger for a 3-4 day hike like the Gregory Palisade or another 70L+ pack, if you like this terra 40 you should check out the crestone 70, it would be better for that length of time.The TNF 60 has a little more volume than the 40 and also has an adjustable suspension that the 40 lacks.
