Backpack investment - 32L osprey hikelite or size up?
Hey all, I was hoping to get some advice on buying a new backpack. I have a 65L that I use for multiday hikes/thru hiking but really in need of something smaller for day hikes with maybe one overnight stay. I'm considering buying the Osprey hikelite 32 litres, but reading that most people still recommend at least 35 litres for a weekend trip. Anyone able to make do with just 32L or is it really better to size up?
Thank you!

Help with Salomon shoes
Hi ! So I bought some salomons ultra 360 edge to take travelling with me because I plan on hiking but wanted soemthibg that would go with casual outfits too and my brown hiking boots weren't that. Well much to my surprise they're comfy AND they don't rub on the back of my ankle which is a frequent problem for me as I'm a fast walker, nor do they give me toe blisters however after a while they do put pressure on the sticky out knuckle (is that the word?) part of my feet and I'm wondering if I somehow removed the lace part here would that relieve the pressure ? I've seen some people suggest lacing in various ways to help a variety of problems but unsure if missing the loop just there would even help? Also if anyone here has salomons am I even able to relace them? Or should I bite the bullet and just cut that bit

Hiking Finland
Looking for a 100-125 km round trip in Finland! It's gonna be a 5 day backpacking trip.
Would be nice if starting point is 500km around Helsinki. As we're not from Finland, maybe someone or locals had experience in discovering nice views along the lakes, bridges or in nature overall.
If you could share your experience, a blog or even .gpx link, that would be awesome!
Finland looks promising! Thank you in advance.

Recommendations for Shasta/Trinity, South Lake Tahoe and Yosemite.
I’m camping in the Whiskeytown NCA, close to Redding, Mt. Shasta being the real deal for me.
South Lake Tahoe the next two days and Yosemite the last 2.
Please recommend any hikes, and places to visit that should not be missed.
Thanks in advance.

Small-town escapes: Get outside Canada’s big cities to find charm and adventure
About a 4½-hour drive from Vancouver, British Columbia’s Wild West history is preserved in the friendly ranch town of Clinton, which served as a rest stop during the Cariboo Gold Rush. Surrounded by panoramic landscapes of valleys and plateaus – best viewed on horseback – Clinton is also home to the Painted Chasm, an 8-kilometre-long chasm formed by melting glacial waters from the ice age in nearby Chasm Park. Nearby lodges such as the Stswecem’c Xget’tem First Nation-owned Big Bar Guest Ranch offer horseback riding tours, wildlife viewing experiences and, in the winter, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. After exploring the rugged terrain, head to the town’s main street, where antique stores offer a treasure trove of
