It's never been washed. Smacked the hell out of to get dust off of it at times, but that's it. This thing baffles me.

This was my only pack for a month in Thailand. It's been with me for a month in France, a couple of weeks in Japan, has been to Burning Man twice, and I take it on every road trip. Any other backpack would be in tatters with what this has been through and it's still good as new. It's easily the best pack I've ever owned.

For a lot of people it was. New Age stuff was huge around this time. I was into it then, but these days I'm a friendly atheist.

The Dead were still around and I hitched to shows. Wore tie dyes. Dropped acid. Hippie enough.

I have no idea. I haven't had to buy another so far. But, they seem to be a good brand overall!
