Advantages: Very stable even when 1/2 full thanks to frame sheet, ventilating back, padded shoulder straps and hip belt Disadvantages: The lid pocket's on the small side, heavy for a daysack, small for a weekand sack
...This is Lowe's best-selling backpack for hikers who are dependant comfort, reliability and stability; well that's what they say on their website. I would have to agree, this day pack was fantastic when used in the Peak District for a day pack.
The packs construction is very durable and versatile. I found that the design was exceptional, it makes use of 'Pure Air Zone back' which suspends the load away from your body, giving ventilated comfort while maintaining stability. This allowed sweat to be wicked airway, rather than stay on your back. However, this is because it uses a internal frame, which does make it a little heavy for a pack. Nevertheless, the shoulder and hip padding and back system make it very comfortable.
The main sack does appear to be rather small, but does allow all the required equipment and clothing to be stored...

Advantages: Compact, not too heavy, packs a lot in. Disadvantages: Feels bulky if filled to the brim. Price is a little high.
...I used the Tatonka Flightcase for a short trip to Amsterdam and found it really good for what I needed it for. I was on my trip for three days and had more than enough space in the pack for clothes, washbag and other sundries. The capacity of the pack is 40L which may not be ideal for long trips but for trips that last one or two weeks I dont think you'd have a problem. The obvious advantage is that the pack fits in hand luggage and it does with no trouble at all.
I didn't really have any problem with the pack but I would say that it did feel a little bulky sometimes even though it's not that big. It is also quite pricey although I have seen it getting cheaper on certain sites. I paid £60 for the pack. Other than that, it was more or less perfect and many people were amazed at just how much it held. Definately going to be using for my...

Advantages: Massive tent, bags of room, easily packed away, doesn't take up much room in the car Disadvantages: Freezing in winter time, obviously
...This is an excellent family tent that sleeps 4-5 people, maybe even 4 adults with a couple of kids. Very simple to erect and to dissasemble and pack away. It doesn't take up much room in the car which is a bonus. Light, airy, bags of room, and is much more convienient than a trailer tent ot caravan as you can just pack some supplies and throw it in the boot. Don't forget a nice thermal sleeping bag if you are camping outside the summer months. If you are going camping to Scotland in the summer months you may wish to pack the thermal sleeping bag just incase. If you are planing a visit to Scotland try Blair Atholl Caravan Park near Pilochry in Perthshire, we have been visiting it for over 15 years and it is a nice quiet and relaxing site....
