You can throw water bottles, snacks, bug spray, camera, etc, all into the backpack.
This is not a necessity by any means, but we decided to include it because some first-time campers may not think of it as they are packing. A backpack is awesome to have along if you plan on doing any sort of activity away from camp. You can throw water bottles, snacks, bug spray, camera, etc, all into the backpack. It makes day hikes much more pleasant if you aren’t trying to carry all those items with your two hands!
