(Project 365 Day 316)
This is my project 365 photo for August 31, the day before my European trip. I got this backpack over a decade ago, when Eddie Bauer had a "lifetime warranty" on backpacks. I think they rescinded that warranty later (not sure how they can do that), but the backpack's been serving me well all these years. Impressive!
At least, that was what I was thinking when I took this picture before my trip! While I was in Rome, the main zipper gave way! Luckily, my dad just happened to have a safety pin on him, and we repaired it with that. I'm gonna finally start looking for a new backpack. Sad. I guess I jinxed it. :P
Car Backpack made using Made By Rae Toddler Backpack pattern. I like the details of the pattern, and it is goes together easily. I fully lined the inside and added some dog ribbon trim to the lining since my son loves cars and dogs. I added a water bottle (or sunglasses) pocket to the side of the backpack. On the next one I will put the pocket on both side, so he can use if for both sunglasses and a water bottle.

So just before my Europe trip, I posted a project 365 photo of my Eddie Bauer backpack that I got over a decade ago. I bragged about its robustness and its lifetime warranty. Ironically, the backpack gave out when I was in Rome. The zipper busted open! Luckily, my dad happened to have a safety pin with him that we used to hold the zipper together for a while.
Today, I went to the Eddie Bauer store, and they honored the lifetime warranty. They gave me a $30 store credit, which I used towards a new $40 (on sale) backpack. I miss the leather bottom of my old backpack, but this new one has more, like, pockets and stuff. And a padded back. Still, not bad to spend $10 on a new backpack!

Today I finally narrowed down one of my hiking trips. I think I've decided to break up the Appalachian trail into 40-100 mile sections and my goal will be to hike one or two different section every year. This year will probably be the first portion of the Virgina section. This will take me to the highest point in Virginia and to Grayson Highlands State Park, home of some wild ponies! (no not horses, ponies!). In all, hiking every section will probably take 15-30 years but its good to have goals right?
Well, anyway, long story short, this got me excited about backpacking so I cleaned up and organized all my supplies and made a list of things I'll need to buy.
Since I spent the whole night doing this I had nothing better to photograph. Also, I think I'll want to see this old gear again someday so I needed to get some photos of it.
Now I'm in the mood to practice my backpacking culinary skills. I'm sure you'll see pictures of that in the near future.
