I enjoy hiking and backpacking. I go to Yellowstone once a year.

What's the best pack to buy? I have one but bought it at Sports Academy and I feel there should be better ones out there.

I prefer supporting all of the small, enthusiast companies out there. For a one-stop shop, garagegrowngear.com is great. Due to distribution, any physical store is going to be established, mass-market brands, maybe with a local company, or two, if you are lucky. That being said, an REI membership is well worth it - they carry everthing you need and know their stuff.
