I'm looking for a pack and tent. Gear has sure changed - last time I did any serious backpacking I used an external frame....

I don't want a massive pack. I'd like it to be a good day pack that expands big enough to hold an elk quarter. The pack also needs to fit someone who's 6'3".

The tent should be 2 man, light and easy to set up.

I'm open to buying the tent online but would like the pack to be fitted locally. Stores local to me are include REI and Whole Earth Provisions.

Thanks for your thoughts!
