Packs For Hiking

I mentioned in a previous post at, Morning Trip to Bear Mountain, about a  pack I used for an easy day trip. Here's the pack I used on the day of this particular hike. I bought the military style pack from 5.11 gear's web site (http://www.511tactical.com/bags-packs.html). I believe that the pack good if you're only going for more then a few quick day trips a year. This is only a suggestion to give someone a better idea of what packs can be used.
