No way! this back pack is very heavy. its designed to carry a camera or lens no for other things like food, or water

It all depends on your equipment and how much space you take up. Personally I don't recommend mixing water and food with expensive Camera's. It might be wiser to take a proper hiking back pack and a smaller bag for your camera and lens that will fit in that bag verus taking this one.

It is comfortable, but it's awfully large and bulky. I would suggest something smaller, unless you absolutely need all that space.

Yes.............carry less equipment and fill with your snacks, water, babywipes, etc. and you can clip water bottle on outside also. It's a big bag. LOVE MINE....so many pockets.........like on the side to grab batteries quickly without having to open entire bag.

I don't recommend put the hot water in this bottle. I prepare put warm or cold drink in it. It is good for hiking.

I suppose you could but the meals are set up for the proper calories and carbs to sustane you on the go. just add water has a heating unit.

Mine is in my motorcycle saddlebags so for me carrying is not a problem. If your hiking gear includes a backpack you'll be fine. Being discrete will all depend on what you have to carry it in.

I believe you can get additional pouches from Fitletic's website to add more water. The two 6 oz. bottles is usually plenty for me on a long run because the water gets warm.

Yes it can. That's how I use it. I carry two regular water or power bottles on the spot the bladder normally sits. It is real easy to take the bladder out of put it back in when you want to. FYI I Love mine

I used the Osprey 2L bladder and it worked great. Based on the size of the pouch, it looks like it could easily hold the 3L bladder as well.

It's not meant to be stored outside a bag. I don't think any bladder is, because that's what a Nalgene with a clip can do without tearing. If your pack doesn't have a hydration compartment, then you will have to make room for it in other compartments. Use common sense, buddy.

It works best with a pack that has a sleeve to hold a bladder. If the loop is long enough it might be possible to tie it to one of the two plastic holes at the top of the bladder. If it is a short loop meant to clip a Camelback onto it probably won't work.

Depends on what you mean by "any length of time". Never had an issue with mine, but I typically use the bladder on multi-day treks so the water that goes in there typically has been boiled, so that probably cuts down the amount of bacteria that has a chance to grow throughout the day. I don't blow the water back into the bladder unless I'm hiking in near freezing temperatures - that's when it becomes important to not have water freeze in the tube.

It is possible to run a belt or something through the loop on the back. It wasn't that comfortable for me when I tried it for hiking though.

Depends on you. If you don't want to carry around a full pack, or something that looks huge and floppy for just some day hiking, then yes. Otherwise... no?

This is a 1600 Cu In. bag, overall storage space. However, given this has a 3L bladder, it can take up a decent amount of space in the main compartment. I have no problem fitting food, water, first aid, some clothing, and other supplies for a decent length day hike. However, like another comment stated, unless you are a true minimalist hiker, I wouldnt recommend this for overnight trips.

For me it would be a bigger than that, but not necessarily by much if you include shoes. There are sides for water bottles but I actually use the matching Osprey bladder and fill that with ice and it has been great on vacations, long walks, hikes, etc...

I have used it for hiking only, but I think it would be fine for biking. The water bottle holders are small, however, and it would be best to carry water some other way.

No....if you mean the Aplation Trail then no. This pack is too heavy. Go with something lighter weight. Even a Med ALICE pack would be better. You want something that you can pack some essentials in. Not the kitchen sink. The bigger the pack. The more you will want to carry.
