So what do YOU use for your long distance hiking treks

[BrianS]

To carry gear?

I found a spot yesterday that will be a hike and a half to get to but looks well worth it.. I need to reduce what I carry.

Right now I have a tackle box, and a shoulder bag... Then add two poles and a bucket of eels and it can be a bit tough to go all that far...

Im thinking I can get some plastic cases and put them into a backpack. Keep my tacklebox in the car, and only take what I need rather than everything..

The backpack would hold everything in my shoulderbag as well (camera/pliers/drink etc) so that problem would be eliminated as well

Anyone have any other decent ideas or know of any "plug backpacks" that are reasonably priced out there?
