boyst Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 This thread is amazing to me. I am not sure I need to laugh or run away. A knapsack is great thing to use as a tool. Just like a gunnysack, a satchel or shouldersack

Chef Jim Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 When I bought my motorbike I needed to buy a knapsack to bring my laptop/lunch/shoes to work. So let me get this straight. After supper you got your ass off the davenport, slung your knapsack over your shoulders and hopped on your motorbike.........shoeless?

The Poojer Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 hahahahahahaha...you owe me a new monitor.... No, silly. I put my riding boots on in the parlor before leaving.
Just Jack Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 also Chef, keep in mind the laptop bags/backpacks/knapsacks/rucksacks, have padding in them to protect the laptop, have puffed out side pockets for usb items like a mouse, they have roomier, and in my case, 3 compartments that add to the bulky look. So its not that they are carrying alot, its just poofy and makes it look packed Not mine, I used a panel loading, 30-liter, hydration compatible, with ventilated back panels daypack.

Chef Jim Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 I thought knapsack was a reference to the super hip and small canvas looking bags that a lot of professional/hipsters or metrosexuals use. I saw a super cool guy and his hip baby carrying one in lieu if a diaper bag once, while I had a 30 pound diaper bag and my wife's purse in my arms, chasing my 2 year old. Anyway, I have major issues with those knapsacks. I have major issues with hipsters.
Chef Jim Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 If you use that word, you are one. Yeah that makes a lot of sense.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Yeah that makes a lot of sense. LoL... You didn't hear it from me! Anyway, I am w/you... I have a problem w/hipsters too! LoL That is why I brought up those girly drawstring tote backpacks earlier in the thread. Again... WTF are people packing? Bug repellant? Sunscreen? All I can do is think of the scene in Platoon with the loaded ALICE. Enemy is running around in pajamas and sandles and the good guys are loaded down to the teeth!
The Poojer Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) if i go into philly for the day, i wear one of those and put my phone accessories(extra battery, charger, headphones) etc, beats carrying them around in your pocket, and yes i need extra batteries with my android phone...can also carry a bottle of water or something. it's just convenient, i've given up worrying what i look like to others keep in mind i am taking light rail into philly so i can't just keep things in my car and go get them when i need them, if i go into the city, i am gone for 8-10 hours.

LoL I am just kidding... My son has one of those bags, I make him carry all the stuff around! This has been my "go to pack" going on 14 or so years:

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Planning on scaling Everest? It is their "Patrol Pack"... Very nice... I actually have the earlier model... BUT very similar to the one shown. Made for skiing. It works well all around and has straps to tie your skis/board on... For off piste/free riding hiking up the hill...
