need one for:
hiking, camping, canoe camping, for a maximum of 3 days, mostly 1-2 days, though.

i don't do any of that camping where you drive your car to the camp site, so i would need a backpack that can haul all my gear.

i live in Florida and don't go out of state much.

prefer something with a hydration bladder and no more than $150, prefer $50-$100.

i know High Sierra and The North Face are good but what else and what models would be best for me?
 
I used to do a lot of backpacking too. did 85 miles in 12 days at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico since you said you don't go for long periods of time or out of state the type of back pack you need is an external frame pack. in other words you can see the actual frame of the pack. I found a Kelty trekker backpack at Bass Pro Shops for $140. I have used a Kelty before they are one of the best. there are others at bass pro you might want to check out too. However, as far as the hydration bladder goes, no back[packing company has a backpack that comes with a bladder. generally you can get those for pretty cheap. Check out Cabela's too. From personal experience., I have had great success with those outfitters even though they are national chain stores. both will back up their products for life.
