    Looking for a backpack

    Reply Contact

    I'm running my first ultra in January 2009 and the rules say I need to carry the following items with me:

    • Compass
    • Hat or warm head cover
    • Long Sleeved Top
    • Long Trousers
    • Map case or waterproof bag for paper directions
    • Personal food
    • Safety pins (10)
    • Space Blanket
    • Torch: head torch, with spare batteries
    • Waterproof Jacket
    • Whistle
    • Mobile Phone

    Anyone have a suggestion for a small, lightweight backpack to carry these things????

    2. Your crazy

    Hehe. Other than that I can offer no help.

    TaoRunner might know a little more about it.

    You might ask that same question at this forum: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/kctrailrunning/ They're a Trail Running group that has a lot of Ultra veterans who are very knowledgeable. They should be able to answer your questions. Good luck!

    I use a CamelBak M.U.L.E for Adventure Racing.  Have to carry much of the same gear and the pack has a 100 oz. water bladder.  Something comprable to that should be fine.

     Thanks for the info. I have 2 North Face water bottles, 20 oz. each, that I plan to use for hydration along the route so I'm not too concerned about the size of the water bladder built into the pack. I'm more concerned with finding something light and comfortable that can hold what I need to have with me on the trail.
