can this be used for extended hiking trips?

It depends. I love this pack, but primarily use it for long day hikes in the a white Mountains where weather can be very unpredictable so I tend to carry extra gear. This would not be suitable for overnights requiring a tent & sleeping bag, but if all you need is a tarp, go for it. It's a great pack

Yes. This depending on your experience of course. It's a great pack for summit hikes, weekend trip, and climbing with minimal gear (little to no pro gear, just top rope with a few anchor things). If you have lots of small and lightweight camping items you could extend your trip on this pack but most likely you'll have one set of clothes and one jacket. If it's really nice out and you can wash in streams along the way you can maybe push to a week without needing a tent. You might run out of food though for lack of space. Incredible pack though!

The tent would be better. I would reserve this tent for overnight hikes. If your serious about a long distant hike consider getting a bivy. They are lighter and better.

I used it while backpacking, and hung the solar charger from my backpack to let it charge during the day while hiking. At the end of the day, I connected my phone, and it took about an hour to charge it up. Battery life lasted me more than a day, for photos and onboard apps, using the phone in airplane mode to conserve power.

My friend had one on our AT long distance hiking trip and we rocked all day and he was able to charge his phone every evening. Worked really well even with the shade from the forest canopy, as we only had "on grid" power maybe once every 5-7 days. I'm buying my own now.

Yes , but it sits high on my back,,,,I wouldn't go hiking with it , but it's convenient at times. Hope this helped you,it's a great bag.

I highly recommend it. I also do long distant, ultralight hiking. I think it's several ounces, but it's definitely worth it.

Yes it would. Just keep in mind this is a heavy duty tripod, so if hiking for miles and miles is how you plan on using it, you might want to opt for something lighter. However, for portraits or food blogging is your thing, this would be ideal!

This altimeter is really not designed for hiking, so I would not advise that you buy it for that (it's a flying altimeter). By the way, I'm the designer.Other answers are correct: it will show altitude change (when in Realtime mode) since it was started. But on a hike of any decent duration, the weather may change, perhaps as much as 20-50 feet as a high or low pressure front moves in. So over the course of hours, you would have to factor that in. It's really designed for short (<2 hour) flights. Not hikes.

It is small enough for backpacking but I would not recommend for that activity.

I bought this as a gift for a friend so I am not sure. Another friend of mine used it on a hike, but I don't recall how he used it. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Yes I think you could. This poncho is very capacious. A little heavy for lightweight backpacking, I would think though.

If you are going to use it as a day pack for the duration of your trip, then yes. But if you are going to use it to pack 3 wks of clothing and essentials, then no.

Yes, you can use it, but regarge it before taking to outside. Unfortunately, it does not keep long power supply as characterized by producent.

I would say no because it is not the highest quality of product but for the cost that is to be expected. I used it for a festival camping for 5 days and it worked great but I can't tell you either way on long term durablility.

The short answer is yes. I use this to measure elevation gain on short hikes. It is not great for hiking as the altitude always starts on "0" (not the actual starting altitude) and when you turn it off it looses all data. It does stay charged long enough for shorter hikes but will be of no value for a backpacking trip. It will return to zero if you go up, and then back down.

No it cannot. It is far too big for backpacking but it is great for just regular camping. It'd be plenty warm and roomy for one person if you don't want to use it for two.

Yes you can. I've cut mine in half and I've used it as is thn cut it as long a you'd need it. Adds a nice finished touch to the car hikes I've done
