Here comes the sun! With the weather getting nicer as spring slowly approaches, thoughts turn to the outdoors. In the fresh outdoors, hiking along a lush forest trail is particularly appealing. Day hikes are a great way to start the outdoor camping hiking season. I think that, for a simple day hike, the ideal backpack is the Kelty Duo Pack 6. This versatile little backpack is actually two packs in one. You can carry it like a tote bag if you’re going on a short hike, or use it as a backpack for a longer trek. The top section is for dry goods and the bottom part has a waterproof cooler lining so it is perfect for perishables. It also has external mesh stash pockets and an internal slash pocket. All in all, I do believe that this Kelty Duo Pack 6 is the consummate backpack for a lovely day hike experience. I love the colour choices, too. If you’re feeling the pull of the great outdoors, maybe you’d like to check it out.
