What size bag is advisable?

[D-Low]

First time at a camping festival this year. Still need to sort out a bag.

What size would you say I'd need taking in to account Id like to fit a few pairs of clothes in and all the other general stuff. Is a 65L big enough or should I go bigger? Im 6"1 so size isnt a bother to me. Id probably rather a bigger one just so everything is not bursting out ha.

Thanks.

Ps any links to the cheapest ones you know please drop them here. Peace!

Im 6'3" so ofc our clothes take up more space than my girlfriends who is a tiny girl lol!

Ive got a 100l off ebay for 37 quid inc p+p and into which ive got sleeping bag, tent, cooking stuff, all my clothes and toiletries and things like that,with a bit of room to spare.

Hoping to re-arrange so i can get a CD player in there then gaffa tape my chair to the side of it

i got a 65L which is PLENTY big enough for me and im just 6 foot. i got mine from Tesco direct for £17 and its bloody marvelous. i would say that is your best option. depends on how much your taking etc.

if you go on tesco direct online you should find it easy enough

I've gone for a nice 75L for £20 (+ delivery unfortunately)

However Quidco is available... http://www.cybercheckout.co.uk/products/redstone-camping-rucksack-75l-310000011.html

Seems big enough, but I got away with a 35L + a bag for life type bag last year, so most bags are big enough.

I dont know how people can fit sleeping bag, tent and clothes into anything smaller than 100L tbh.

I suppose the tent in there is a 4 man with a large porch area, and ive got my cooking stuff, but surely that doesnt make much difference?

I had a 65L one from Argos which lasted me for years. That used to be plenty big enough for clothes and a bit of food. The good thing about that bag was that it had loads of straps on it which I used to attach my tent and sleeping bag.

It finally gave up on me at Download last year so I had to get a new one for this year and it's nowhere near as good.

ive only got a 25ltr bag, im worried it wont be big enough now then again, im only putting clothes in it, and i can always stuff them down the side of my tent bag.
