Subject: Backpack suggestion

What's your price range... There are many from Dana (top of the line in my opinion) to very inexpensive -- Try REI, EMS and other store brands. Also, there are now good backpacks that fit even the smallest adult (I'm 5' almost 1) and we carry about 20 - 40 lbs depending. The kid's packs tend not to be as sturdy (again, in my opinion) Susie MA
