I tested 8 top backpacking backpacks on a 5-day backcountry trip, to find the best hiking backpack (for 2023). We put these hiking backpacks to the test in rugged terrain and heavy snow while trekking in southern Utah. In this video, I share my take on 2023's top #backpacking #backpack overall - plus picks for multi-day and thru-hiking packs, fits for various body types, budget picks, and more!
