Looking for some advice from those who may own these packs.
I'm needing a new pack for summer and fall backpacking fishing trips with my son. I have to carry his gear as well. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and food for him.
I had it all packed out minus fishing gear and camera gear into a rambler with a guide lid but it is too tight.
I really like the layout of the Reckoning for the side pockets to put tent poles, tripod, and broken down poles. But I feel like the main bag would be to big and it would all end up pear shaping at the bottom. I know it can collapse pretty well but I'm sure it has its limits.
The woodsman seems like it would be a bit better and fill out and carry a bit better but I'm unsure the layout would work well for the odd shaped things I'll be carrying.
Here's the weird thing. My 75L Gregory pack was maxed out with what I fit in the rambler for a smaller overall pack. The layout of the Gregory just didn't pack out well for me.
Without seeing them in person , it's hard to know how it would work out.
Would the Reckoning be to big and overkill for what I need and would the woodsman be to small?
