Is your passion really backpack design? That's oddly specific.

Nobody's passion is backpack design lol

Edit: okay, some of you Like backpacks and seek out good ones, but nobody's PASSION is backpack design. You're passionate about your partner, your family, your biggest hobbies (some of which I'll admit involve backpacks), etc., but that's not to be confused with finding beauty and functionality in a design.

There were a few weeks where I was interested in backpacks and I watched a lot of Packhacker videos. There is definitely a niche for backpack design! Fortunately I made it through that phase.

It is absolutely a phase that lasts until you've bought a backpack that fits your needs.

It all started when I couldn't find a backpack for my kid. Where were you looking for backpacks?

to be fair, that's not weird. Backpacks are fucking lit.

But most people with a passion for backpack design are typically more interested in technical outdoor gear or EDC, not designing an overly engineered child's backpack (like...is any kid really going to use all of those separate organizer pouches? really? nah, they are just going to cram shit in the bag).

What is the best type of bag to carry an FDA in your opinion and could it also be used for an FCC or would that require something more specific?

The post title comes across as one of those weird LinkedIn posts that everyone knows is bullshit.

Well, actually, before I opened a backpack store or designed my own, I had a collection of backpack brands from around the world. I really love the innovative designs and great experience that these products bring.

Hey dude, just so you know, no one’s believing you. The post comes across as disingenuous.

I was similarly fascinated when I saw my Army rucksack (circa 2007) for the first time. Comparing the weight distribution design of it vs the backpacking frames I had in Boy Scouts was very cool.

I could definitely see this being an intriguing field.

I hear you. I've had a unique design for a bag in my head for years. Congratulations that it happened for you!
