[Philmont] Pack Size

Both packs work at Philmont. We could, and may, see a discussion about the
internal vs. External frame pack issue but I've seen both work very well.

As far as size is concerned, an internal frame pack should have at least
4500 CI. The ones on our last trek were 4500 to 4900 and that was very
sufficient for everything and they were packed corectly. Nothing needed to
be lashed to the outside of the packs to be carried. This also assumed that
there were two outside pockets for nalgenes and many also had internal
sleeves for hydration bladders.

 What size pack volume have folks been using at Philmont recently?

Internal or External?

Did you have enough room, to much or to little?

I used a 120 liter pack in 2004 and thinking of dropping down to a 70 liter
in 2007. The 70 liter worked fine for a 7 day trip this summer with no
re-supply. But then, I don’t carry as much excess stuff as at Philmont.
