Rucksack for wildcamping?

I'm pretty sure the Xti was the US name for the 400D? I believe it uses the same body as my 500D so it should fit. Think I'll give it a go. At the very least I'll end up with a new pocket to store biscuits!

I've been absent from the forums for a wee while and managed to miss that Glencoe thread. Unfortunately I have plans to visit Elgin those dates Sorry I should really turn on the email notifications thing when someone comments on a thread

Ok David, sorry you can't make it.

I'm not sure of the Xti is the same body but I couldn't imagine it being too much bigger if it is different. There probably won't be room for the 18-200mm lens, but the standard one fits fine. Makes it so much easier to take pics as you go.

Just wondering Stretch

how did the sleeping bag go? As in weight and pack down size?
Been looking at the apkit one aswell, seems pretty good on price and things so some feedback is always good

Hi Ross, I got the Alpkit Skyehigh 800 and it was class. Fit nicely at the bottom of my OMM Villian and it is very light. I guess what I was most impressed with was the fact that I could fit comfortably in it, but I did get the Large version. In 40mph wind at 750m I never once got cold. Definetely worth the purchase. The only thing I have to compare it to is a simple Vango bag, but I'd recommend the Alpkit anyhow.

Cool sounds good stretch, although i think the regular or more likely the short one would be fine for my hobbit like height haha

Hopefuly over the winter time, when im not really going to be out walking as much i can save some extra pennies and kit myself out all ready for plenty of wild high camps
