Title: blue barrel size needed
Post by mntrehgr on Mar 9th, 2007 at 4:06pm
This is my first post.

Since the recent food pack topic was hijacked i thought i would start a new one just for convenience.  I am pretty sure that i have read through all of the other topics on the blue barrels and haven't found a real strong asnwer to my questions, so hopefully these are not overly repeated questions that have been answered multiple times.

Ok here are the questions for those blue barrel users out there.

1) What size (60L, 30L, or 2X30L) would you use for a 2 person or 4 person group for a week as a food pack which will also hold the cookware, dinnerware, and stove? I am trying to decide on which barrel set up would accomodate my wife and I or group without having to order all of them to test each out.

2) Is the 60L easy(relatively) to carry for a smaller framed person?

3) Also, a double 30L set up is around two pounds heavier than one 60L...is it worth the weight? Or don't you notice a weight difference since the center of gravity of the 2X30L is closer to your back compared to the 60L?

Thanks in advance for your collective expertise.
