BACKPACKS - GEAR GUIDE FOR NEW BACKPACKERS - PART 5

Subscribe to join the Tribe:
https://www.youtube.com/outdoorvitals?sub_confirmation=1

This is our fifth video in our new video series: "Gear Guide For New Backpackers" (GGFNB) Our goal for this playlist is to take someone who has never camped before and teach them how to plan and buy the proper gear for their first backpacking adventure.

This is going to be a 7 part series!

In this video, Tayson goes over three backpack options. He talks about the pros and cons of each, and gives some tips and guidelines that are good to keep in mind while shopping.

Please let us know if you think we've missed anything! We take a close look at each area, and help you prepare better for your next (or first) trip.
