  As it was told to me when I was young, “The more things you need to carry everyday, the less important you are. The less you need to carry everyday, the more important you are.”

  Sadly, there is a kernel of truth there.

    Well no. Where would we be without janitors and people who repair shit. “Importance” is subjective. Ich would much rather have one person who repairs my car and need a lot of stuff, than 100 Managers.

    I used to be friends with an EMT. They’d be carrying 80+ pounds of medical equipment everywhere they went just in case something happened and they weren’t on route. Heaviest backpack I’ve ever seen.

    Grand scheme I’m sure you’re right, but to the few people they saved by carying that bag, I’m sure they’re one of the most important people in the world.

  Imagine being so scared of what people think of you that you refuse to use a backpack even when you need to carry a bunch of things.

  I travel for work professionally. 99% of the time I’ll travel exclusively with a backpack to carry my essentials. Its very hard to yank a backpack off someone when both straps are on, it’s very ergonomic, it frees my hands to hold my phone/boarding passes/passport/food, etc etc.

  Backpacks are the objectively superior travel and everyday bag, honestly.

    When I was on the travel circuit I always did a carry-on and a backpack. The backpack was usually full of job related equipment so there wasn’t much room for clothing etc. The carry-on was enough for trips of up to 2 weeks.

    As I was in agricultural fields and hot temps everyday in all sorts of countries, full changes of clothing was required plus at least one laundry stop before I came home(phytosanitary rules and all). My carry-on often weighed in at 40lbs or more on those trips.

  You know what you can also inside a backpack? Bags. And inside those bags? Even more bags. Basically, you can carry infinite carrying capacity in your backpack! 🙃

    I put a bag of holding inside another bag of holding, and I’m not responsible for the resulting black hole eating through the kitchen.

      Actually, it just creates a pocket dimension. They should update those dnd rules /s

  I admit: I get Bag Envy when I see something that looks durable and has a plethora of pockets. My bag is weak and puny, but this bag I see before me is epic.

  Am I the only one?

  • tetris11@feddit.uk ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No, always. I have a really good waterproof 12L bag with the rollup top clip thingy. It will survive any rainstorm. It just doesn’t have pockets

  I just never stopped using them since childhood. Why would I give up on it? It’s ergonomic, keeps your hands free and unloaded, doesn’t press against your neck like shoulder bags do, and is very hard for someone malicious to take off you.

  The only downsides I can see is that I cannot keep it in sight, meaning I should mind my surroundings not to hit anyone, and it can also be opened without me noticing (although Bobby bags solve this in particular).

  Backpacks is how I learned why a lot of purse’s end up as black holes of miscellaneous shit. You think, “oh that like be handy to have just in case”, and next thing you know you’re carrying around half of a house in your backpack.

    On a positive note: You become the person to ask if anything problematic happens. Like, the moment someone feels sick it’s always me who got the travel-amount of medicine ready (Ibuprofen, Talcid, Vomex and such).

  When I was in school I was too lazy to go back to my locker between classes so I just carried a stack of 8 textbooks with me everywhere I went. If they had fit in my backpack I would have done that, too, but my family could only afford the cheap ones.

    I got a detention for using my backpack full of books as a lethal weapon. I have the English anthology in there and that’s a big book, it does some serious blood force trauma damage. It’s an awful book though.

    Apparently that started a trend so the school introduced a rule that said that all backpacks must be put in lockers at the start of each day. Which was stupid because the lockers weren’t big enough for that. So everyone was forced to carry their books to and from school by hand.

    I’m young enough to not have been allowed a backpack in grade school. My locker was in the opposite corner of the school and I would always be late if I went back to my locker, so I carried 7 binders with me everywhere…

  I’ve been held up for my backpack twice. I just carry everything in a grocery bag now. No one cares to steal my groceries. I might need to swap back to a backpack once food prices explode

  Modern ones ain’t too shabby. Back around some time between 2014-17 an old L.L. Bean backpack I had for a really long time died and now I have a basically all black backpack that is pretty nice and easily blends in, in terms of not being something that looks as actually dorky or somewhat childish as that old blue backpack that had a grid pattern on it.
