Choosing the right size backpacking bag is a nightmare. There are so many variables and so many things to think about when buying a backpack. In this backpacking gear video I break down how to choose the right size backpack.

I like Osprey Packs because they have lots of different types of osprey backpacks, lots of size options, they fit me really well and above all, they're comfortable. Be careful though, you still need to make sure you buy the right osprey backpack one for you.

Think about when and where you might go wild camping. How far are you likely to hike? What time of year will you go camping? Will you go wild camping in all weathers? How many days will your backpacking trip be? What backpacking tent are you thinking of buying? What camping sleeping bag will you buy? The answers to these questions will ensure you have enough space for your camping gear, food and clothing.
