I tried to ask this guy about his bag but he had earplugs shoved firmly into his ears and was completely oblivious to the world.

we've made these drawstring backpacks with my brother to bring them with us to vietnam))) nice decision when you want to bring with you small towel, camera and wallet

(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 I think they rescinded that warranty later (not sure how they can do that), but the backpack's been serving me well all these years.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

The "Women Backpacking Together" Meetup met at the Caribou Lake Trailhead in the Caribou Wilderness in the middle of the night... around midnight. Lorrie and I were there around 7:30pm so after we put up our tent and built a fire, we warded off the bears by making a lot of noise. Four plus hours! We were up around 9am and out on the trail around 11am. Got to our camp at North Divide Lake around 3:30pm and set in for a cold night. Snow all around but we found a nice meadow to camp in.

I made this to bust my stash of random charm packs that I have collected over the years :) Blogged at Bloom. PDF Pattern available here.

My very Spartan backpack. Notice the improvised duct tape.

The Victoria and Albert Museum has an incredible backpack program for kids. Anna did four of them, I think; we had to return a second day! The Architecture backpack was the hands-down favorite. Here Anna sports the “Fancy Furnishings” 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.

I carry this set everywhere with me. I am a roadwarrior network administrator

Backpack and outfit with style

I had this custom made from lemonbrat on Etsy! At no extra charge from their base husky backpack. Elastic straps make it very adjustable, front pockets fit my phone and pack of gum, and inside I can squeeze a note or mini sketchpad, pens, eraser, and misc small things. I will be altering it to include her spots in felt soon! I love it and get lots of compliments! Smaller compartment than I am used to but I need to consolidate anyway.

Made by lemonbrat of Etsy or Lemonbrat.com! They were so accommodating, sweet and FAST! Couldn't be happier!

I'm turning into a dog freak who gets custom clothes and stuff in the likeness of their dog but I miss Diaz.

Totes making a custom collar for this too. <3

For real order one, I have already gotten so many compliments!
