Ultralight Backpacking Gear Lightweight

And yes again, the Ozark Trail G.1 Explorer is only available in two sizes. Apparently inspired by Kenda’s Booster Pros, the tires handled pavement commuting well. However, between myself, camera equipment, racks, bags, fishing gear, and more, I’d be pushing 265 pounds on the trail. The soft sidewalls would need extra pressure to keep from bottoming out on rough descents.

It is also hydration compatible and comes with an included 2L reservoir so you can stay hydrated on the trails. I use a bag for food and tie it in a tree, but mainly to keep the little critters out. Choose this pack if you prefer a smaller yet spacious design, as it has useful features and the durability of larger options.

I’m not sure if it is durable enough to hold any of my camera equipment. This pack will make great for a day at the beach with an extra change of clothes, flip flops, keys, tanning oil, towel and a iPod or stuff your lightweight sleeping ozark trail backpack bag and a jacket. This daypack came in handy just for what I intended. This hydration compatible backpack has a connection for a water bladder built in to the design. It also includes loops to hang your trekking poles when not in use.

Always treat any water for drinking and cooking along the trail. Specific water sources are indicated on Ozark Trail online and printed maps. Wetlands give way to ridgelines at the start of the Blair Creek section. The 26-mile route follows Blair Creek south as it carves down a valley through oak-hickory-pine forest before merging with the emerald waters of the Current River. Here the 30-mile Current River section picks up, following the river for two miles before veering south toward Stegall Mountain.

I only walked about a mile away on a dirt trail to the showers but it was not a flat surface and the equiptment on my back was stable. Fast and easy to adjust and all buckles and webbing are in good quality.
