\"Osprey<\/a>So, hey! I bought a new light backpacking\/day hiking pack.<\/p>\n

Several years ago, I bought an Osprey Stratos 24 Pack after having used a Gregory Crux backpack for nearly 20 years. The Gregory pack was essentially just a rucksack and not terribly comfortable when loaded up with gear. And it made my back super sweaty on just about any hike. I was in the local outfitting store one day, and saw the Osprey packs with their super cool “Air Speed” suspension system<\/strong><\/a>. Essentially, the pack frame curves and keeps the pack off your back with space for air to flow through so you don’t get sweaty (or as sweaty as you would with a normal pack). I feel in love and bought the smallest one they offer.<\/p>\n

The trusty Osprey Stratos 24 …
\n\"Osprey<\/a><\/p>\n

Compared to my old pack, the Stratos 24 was a Cadillac. Super comfy to wear and it barely felt like you had a pack on. That was awesome. I tend to over pack on day hikes, and quickly discovered that the 24 size would barely hold all the gear I like to carry. That was a bummer. But, I made do and figured out ways to strap things to the outside and what gear I could really leave behind. The Stratos 24 ended up being a great bag for the last three years.<\/p>\n

Before Christmas I bought a hammock<\/strong><\/a>. I knew I wanted to carry this on hikes as well and that the 24 just couldn’t handle carrying any more gear. Thankfully, Christmas cash came to the rescue and I ended up buying a Stratos 36<\/strong><\/a> (the largest in the Stratos line). I tested out loading gear and it’s the prefect size. Now if the damn temps would warm up just a little, I can get out and test the pack and hammock on the trail. Yes!<\/p>\n
