Does the pack have an attachment for hiking poles or do I have to move up to the 24 litre pack?

You can use the helmet strap, the side strap and the bottom one to attach hiking poles.

You need to purchase poles separately. Poles from REI are the same as sold by Amazon but they're about 25% cheaper.

The guylines are sewn on to it and are well designed and easy to use. The poles are absolutely not included. I bought a nice set from REI. They aren't cheap though...

Yes... but there is a separate bag for poles and it works out easier to carry separately

Yeah! A perfect 3day pack. I hiked the npt trail with it 2 summers ago, which consisted of 9 days with food, tent, sleeping bag and rain gear, and It was maxed for space, but still comfy all 9days.

No problem for a day hike but out of question for a multi day hike unless you have a sherpa... Take a light head to go with it. It weights about 2kg. You'd carry about 10 kg on a day hike and max 20 kg for a three day hike. I would say it depends how much of a sweat you are prepared to give for that one shot. That being said the possibilities are endless to position your kit with this beauty.

Stephanie - That's a tough one. Most packs adjust for someone's size, even someone little like you. I think the key is how much can you carry and still be efficient on your hike or camping trip. The bigger the pack, the more stuff you'll bring, the heavier it would be. I think if you purchase a pack larger than 50 liters, it may be too difficult to keep up and haul that much weight if you fill it.

The package comes with a regular strap AND an exstension strap whitch will accomodate 95% of poles that are out there. It is only when you have a large inground pole, 6x6, and then have a big pad around it that you may want our larger straps which we will furnish for free...just emal us at sales@gamedayscoreboards.com. Thanks to all who answered.

No, the backpack has neither. This is a lightweight day pack only, which is why I bought it. The pack is well made and very light weight, but has all the right compartments and and can carry quite a bit of stuff. The pack is the perfect fit for my day hikes only.

Yes, but it's not very wide. I'm using an "S" type carabiner to clip this to the outside of my pack.

Hello, I'm 6'4 and I bought this pack last year for a hiking trip to the Poconos. Loved it. comfortable to wear and hold a lot of stuff. I had enough stuff packed in it to get me through 4 - 5 days. You shouldn't have any trouble.

Tip... just stuff the tent and fly right into your backpack. There is no need to try and fold it up and fit it back into the nylon bag they give you. It will fit just about anywhere this way. Slip the poles in your pack or attach to the outside. This saves lots of time when packing camp.

I am not sure. I bought this pack as a Christmas present for a relative. I know he is happy with it.

I carry two 3.0 liter hydration packs inside the pouch and they fit well. There are exit points for both drinking straws as well. One on each side at the top of the pack. I have never went thirsty on my long hikes and even had water when there wasn't a source of water in the area I was hiking. You can't go wrong buying this pack.

I own two Alps packs and they Abbott excellent. The Dark Timber does not have a place to strap a rifle but if you take a look at the Pursuit pack, it will facilitate a bow or rifle. Again, both are excellent packs!

Im not sure. As a outdoorsman myself this Hydration pack does not have a waist strap to hold the pack down. Running or sudden bending over the pack move all over. I have to cinch the shoulder strap real tight almost uncomfortably on my armpit so it wont move around

The way I see it you have a couple options. If your backpack doesn't have a water bladder port then you can try fitting it into the main compartment of your pack and run the hose out of the pack zipping the two zippers snuggly around the hose. If you decide to do this I would put the water bladder in a big 1 pound ziplock bag to ensure no water leaks out on your other items. Or I advise buying a backpack that has a dedicated water bladder port that is made to hold this item and has a small hole for the hose to run out of. Most backpacking bags have these water bladder pouches now adays. Look at the condor 3 day tactical bag for a cheap(er) pack. Hope this helps you. The way I see it you have a couple options.
