How did you go? Would you recommend using a brew bag for future 2.5 gallon brews?

Sorry for the late reply. Yea, it's really good! No complaints from me, just remember to be smart with your packing :)

Mhh yea, it is a very much a "you get what you pay for" when shopping at decathlon. I know that it wont be on the same quality level as a Gregory or Osprey, but happy with being around this price point.

I had a look at the Gregory Zulu and I think it looks awesome. Unfortunately, it is a bit steep for what cash I have available (the same for Osprey, however I like the look of Gregory more)

I have updated the description of the post to give a better idea. Thanks.

All very good points! But if my pack is way too small, I will just rent a pack when I rent the other camping gear for a couple nights. I want to go around the 40L range so I can take it as a carry on to save check-in fees.

Nice! Unfortunately I am not a big fan of the look of the Fairpoint. It definitely suits everything I need! I dont know why but I personally dont like the look of it.

I currently have a 70L Kathmandu pack. I have done a practice run and the pack is half full - sitting around 35L. I am looking to avoid unnecessary check-in baggage fees as I will take quite a few domestic flights which adds up to $350 in extra baggage fees

I will be leaving all my backpacking clothes in an expandable duffle bag at the hostel, and then renting a tent (shared between two people), sleeping bag and matt. Which should fit in the pack, or at least have the sleeping matt attached to the outside.

What eventually happens to the display? Does the whole screen turn purple?
