Which backpack will last longer?

Kelly M

I've had terrible trouble with bookbags. My past three have all gotten holds in them. The first one was from target. The lining in between the pockets ripped out. The second was an Eastsport from Wal*mart. The plastic-y stuff that lines the inside chipped off and a hole was made. My third and most surprising was an Adidas duffle bag. Not a full size, just one main pocket. It got holes around the bottom edge. Which one of these two bags do you think will withstand a FEW years instead of just one or two?

oh, and unless you pay for it, i'm not going any more expensive than $30. this is highschool. not a backpacking trip.

Answer
Buy cheap and get low-grade stuff like those two bags.
Then complain in a year the base fell out...
School books are heavy and they've got corners and edges that wear through materiels more than backpacking stuff does.
Unless you go backpacking with a bunch of school books.
School bags get a lot of use...
They get more use in a year than most bags on backpacking trips get in a year.
What's the deal?...a thirty-dollar bag that lasts one year or a fifty-dollar bag that lasts three years.
So which is the best bargain?
My Karrimor cost $70 and is twelve years old. Not a hole worn in it anywhere after using it on more than twenty big trips hiking and touring and almost daily use for shopping and local photo trips with heavy equipment (big heavy wildlife lenses and heavy tripods) and it's still waterproof...the Alps, the Andes,Machu Pichu, Atacama Desert, Mozambique jungles, Malaysian rain-forest (Lived East for a while), all over Europe.
Cost so far....less than $6 a year.
I won't be replacing it for many years yet.
Good savings for more trips......12 thirty-dollar bags would have cost $360.
No kidding....

What does a kid need in his backpack for headstart?

singaloves

My son is 3 and wants to take a backpack to school this year when he starts headstart. What should I put in it, because it isn't actually required to bring one? Any ideas?

Answer
Put a Composition notebook and some crayons. Composition notebooks are pretty cheap and it could make him feel like a big kid going to school with a little notebook to write in. Also the crayons are always fun for kids, I still love them and I'm in high school :D ! Packing a toy would be nice too. Just not his #1 Favorite. If other kids take his favorite or it breaks it would be the end of his world.
