Ok. I'm a grown ass man. Professional even. Probably should do better than the 2nd cheapest backpack from Amazon.
Gotta be able to carry a 15" laptop.
Oh Jesus don't share roller bags. I think I have 2 of those already. I want something cool! Unknown on my budget. Say sub $400?
I got a new patch for my backpack. It looks so cool and probably only true fans of Alien will know what it is.
It’s so cool that the patch arrived on the day that @davidhmccoy and I were nerding out about the Alien franchise.
I've really suffered with backache over the last few days.
For some reason my backpack has been causing back pain on this trip where it's not been the slightest issue on previous holidays.
I'm carrying roughly the same weight, and I've tried adjusting the shoulder straps - but it's only the pills that relieve it.
(It hasn't got a waist strap which might have helped).
I'm going back to my trusty shoulder bag - with hip belt - for the next trip in July.
Went through my #backpack collection recently to decide which one to take on my upcoming #vacation trip.
I almost picked the #WandrdPrvke again — until I realized that the aqua guards of some zippers are no longer in shape 
Looks like the rubber has lost its strength over time.

There seems to be consensus amongst first responders, that a SAM Splint is a super useful tool in the backpack to splint broken bones of any kind.
It is lightweight, super flexible, can be cut with scissors to use it for smaller things like fingers, etc. It easily fits in every backpack.

Today mine arrived to complete my first aid gear. I have chosen the 36" Large edition, which is considered the best size for all-round use (and as mentioned for the smaller things it can be cut as well).
What a trip to the beach! Some sea glass, but most I returned to the sand. No shells this time, my house plants have plenty.
Here are shadow snaps of surf, & backpack, & me, as happy proof.

New gear day. Well first hard trial of new gear.
Backpack: Osprey Atmos AG LT
Shoes: Vivobarefoot Magna Lite SG through their ReVivo program
The shoes are dialed in as I've been out running in them a bit. For the backpack it is good, even when I've yet to dial it in it is nice. Pack plus gear 20kg (2kg+18kg).
Another trusty sidekick this vacation: the packable #backpack from #Matador x #Carryology. These limited collabs are hard to resist—and this one keeps proving why. Lightweight, durable, perfect for quick day trips with a kid in tow. Packs down easily for the trip home #travelessentials #OneBagTravel

Massive thanks to my proofreaders: Maddie, Thistle, and Claire from the discord.
This photo proves that I've had this backpack for 6 years. Working great and still looks great. Guess I don't have to look at other brands when I need a new backpack...
