I am looking to go camping with a one/two man tent (around 10 litres packed size) and was hoping to go travelling without my car.

Any advice as to what size of rucksack I should go for? Sleeping bags seem to vary hugely in "packed size" and I'm not sure how much space all the other things I might need will take up, hoping you experienced campers can give me some guides.

I always thought tents or sleeping mats might attach to the outside of a rucksack but none of the one's I have seen seem to have anything to attach these onto on the outside of the rucksacks.

If you need more than a 75 Litre Rucsac your almost certainly carrying too much.

You can strap things on the outside but it it just as easy to pack everyting inside a rucsac, with maybe only the sleeping mat and poles on the outside. There are a great many rucsacs that have side straps for attaching poles and mats etc.

The main issue with backpacking is weight, if you worried about the packed size of a sleeping bag, its probably too heavy anyway.
