What is a good size hiking bag for traveling?
I will be needing a international frame backpack. I am going to be traveling the US, bag will need to hold like at least 35 lbs.
Most people carry suitcases for traveling and backpacks for backpacking in the woods. In the US most people aren’t walking from city to city, they take a plane, bus, rarely a train, less well off people share a ride with people they know or fellow travelers, or more well off people rent a car for the extent of their travels.
I suppose if one were traveling from one wilderness area to another with wilderness backpacking being the main purpose of their vacation one could buy an good quality internal frame backpack that would comfortably hold 35 lbs of gear and food that would fit in the overhead compartment of the plane.
As an ultralight backpacker I can’t recommend you purchase a high end Arc’Teryx Maia 50 Pack http://www.rei.com/product/747115, but it’s 3,051 cu. in. / 50L volume gives you a general idea of the size you’ll need, which is my answer to your question. But something simpler and cheaper like the Six Moon Designs Comet is just as serviceable: http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=37
