Camping Backpack

[NomadicPrepper]

Hopefully posting this in the right area, its camping related so I think I'm ok.

I'm in the market for a new Camping/Hiking backpack/rucksack. I have a decent bag for my Bug Out Bag, but I'm looking for something I can use strictly for camping. I've already scrolled through amazon and not really finding anything that fits my taste. Do ya'll know of any websites that sell decent quality backpacks like that?

Thanks in advance!

What is your budget?
How much do you want to carry?
Are you planning for backpacking?
Do you want an internal frame? Do you need a water bladder?

If you aren't too picky, you can often find really great used ones at REI. I would rather get a good brand second hand than buy an Amazon brand. I bought Amazon ones for the kids and they're not bad, but they aren't great, either.

Here's the used REI page. They sell new, of course, on their refular page.

I've got an old ALICE backpack. Milsurp stuff is very good and surprisingly affordable.

I've got a Teton sports scout 3400 it's a 34L pack I got from Walmart for like $79.99 haven't had a chance to seriously try it out but I'm happy with it thus far hope you find something you like that fits your budget and makes you happy

Ah! I forgot all about REI, I used to walk around that store for hours back when I lived near one. Been ages since I've checked their site, I'll give it a look.

My budget is around $100ish dollars if I can keep it around there.
Carry Weight I'd like to keep around 30lbs, Not going to carry a lot just necessities, just enough for like a 3 day trip, everything else I need I can fish or forage for. Yeah I'll be backpacking it too so comfort will be pretty important.
Yeah Internal frames work best for me, at least they have in the past. and I'll probably just bring a Sawyer Micro Squeeze with me, Where I'm camping/hiking will have plenty of water so I won't need to carry much with me.

There are a few Military Surplus stores in my area, I love the look of an ALICE backpack, I'll have to check them out.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the suggestions, I've got a lot of research to do now lol.

The best backpacks you can find here are at a milsurp store just outside of Fort Benning.

Check out Maxpedition. They have a lot of great products. They aren't the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.
