Thanks mate.

Anyone had a exped 40 or 60L Lightening?
They look light but a lot cheaper than the cactus and some of these huge Macpac designs. I think 60L will be the largest I'll be going at this stage.

Thanks, interesting points - the 35L vs 60L and I'll be packing in only bare necessities for bush stalking and a fly camp, so simply wet weather gear, tent and odds and sods.
As far as meat is...

Does one need for the basic experience for maybe three nights in the wide world north island style? I am looking at buying a new pack and thinking maybe 60L would do it...?
