How do you assemble a backpack and sleeping bag for camping?

Posted by admin
Marnie asked:


New at camping and hiking. My 12 year old is in Boy Scouts. He has packed light, but the backpack is still so bulky. We can’t use a framed backpack because he will have to crawl through some low areas and push his stuff through the opening. I know there must be an easy way to put it all together. The load has to be light enough for a 12 year old child to carry on a caving expedition. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

      Get an internal frame backpack. They are better than the external frame packs and would be much easier to go caving with. Also most people who think that they are packing light are really taking a lot of stuff they don’t need.
