The pockets work great for holding 32 oz Nalgene bottles or 40 oz insulated water bottles. I suggest have equal weight on ozark trail backpack both sides or switch the weight around. I normally don’t need it, but it does a good job at tightening up the bag up.
I sometimes use Mount Hagen instant, but you end up with a small wrapper to carry out. My tastiest morning brew involves using espresso grind coffee and ozark trail chair leaves no trash to carry out. I never carry bear spray and only used a bear canister once in the High Sierras of California where it was required.
I like how almost every strap can be adjusted to fit the user. Most of our hikes are seven miles or less but we are combing the hikes so I’m wearing the bag for hours. The trails have been up hill/downhill near vertical hikes to rock hopping and scrambling over rocky terrains and the bag has always stayed in place. I did some quick adjustments and gave the bag a try. It was heavier than the premium brands but still light enough for our needs.
At Unitedslickmart we celebrate the act of discovery. We work with small vendors from all over the world to share their products. Due to the nature of the shipping business, delays are often inevitable, all our shipping times are therefore guidelines only and specific delivery dates are not guaranteed. There are circumstances that are out of control (natural disasters, holidays, weather, etc) that may cause shipping postponements.
Water sources like rivers and streams may only be available seasonally. OT maps are a great resource to help identify places where you can access water. Bring enough water for your trip or a way to purify water to make it safe to drink.
