For extended trips into the backcountry, there’s no getting around the fact that you’ll have to carry life-sustaining supplies on your back. The choice of a BACKPACK with the internal frame is without a doubt the best choice, for many reasons: for one thing, they hold the weight of your load close to your body, making it easier to maintain your balance on uneven terrain. Also, internals provide stiffness and support, but they are not completely rigid, which makes them more flexible when you’re doing active sports. Internals also sport slimmer shapes that allow for more arm movement in all directions–another big plus for off-trail bushwhackers, skiers and climbers. Last but not least, internal frame packs offer a greater range of adjustability in the shoulder harness and hip-belt than external frame packs.
The Fox 75+1 0 is packed with features normally found only on more expensive backpacks. Equipped with a top-loading main compartment and a generous sleeping bag compartment, the Fox features two hide-away side pockets and an expandable front section. The shoulder strap height is adjustable, allowing this pack to accommodate a wider range of torso lengths. Its contoured shoulder, lumbar, and hip pads help ensure a comfortable trip. Includes attached rain fly and is hydration system ready.

This backpack offers superior comfort and flexibility …why not save yourself the headache of packing your old, stiff, external frame backpack that always bumps you in the wron spot?? Ism’t it time to replace that old equipment with more modern comfort and lots more mobility on your extended BACKPACkING wilderness trips.

No wilderness hiker is equipped without a compass and a good pair of gloves and hiking boots. There is something to be said for a GPS of course…..BUT , they can always run out of batteries! A good compass will always stand you in good stead and keep you on the right trails, especially if this is an orienteering compass.
