I’m trying to pack light, and I’ve squeezed everything I need into a backpack. I suspect the backpack will be too heavy to be carry on luggage. Do you think it is safe to check in my backpack? Will it get lost? It’s a slightly bigger than usual L.L. Bean backpack. Should I just pack everything into a huge suitcase instead?

ok,
i’m starting school tomarrow what do i keep in my backpack?? it’s an easy Q just write what you keep in your backpack. and do you keep pantiliners pads or tampons in your backpack?
thanks!

I normally use shoulder bags, but I need a solution for carrying more stuff to the office and to college at night. Wearing a backpack would make my life easier — I’d rather have my hands free than have to carry an additional tote or wheel something behind me. Besides, I think a backpack would be be better for my back and neck. But I always wind up slinging it over one shoulder with my handbag (which defeats the purpose of a backpack), because it’s a hassle to wear both a shoulder bag and a backpack. The straps get bunched up and it’s harder to access stuff. Do you put your handbag inside the backpack? I don’t like investing in a good designer handbag if it gets hidden away. But I can’t carry my backpack around teh office, so I do need both. Help, please! I need a system that works. Thanks!
While it seems to be a sensible answer to say "carry less crap around," doing so isn’t possible when you live and work in NYC, using public transportation, are out ALL day long, and go from work to school. I need to bring my everyday stuff as well as shoes for commuting, my lunch, my textbooks, homework, etc.

I need to buy the biggest backpack I can for school. I don’t want a luggage case or anything, I want a real backpack. I can’t find one big enough anywhere.

So, what’s the biggest backpack available that I could purchase?

I have been looking for a backpack for school and the only one I like is the hurley new icon backpack at pacsun, but it’s no longer available. So, I what backpack do you think will definitely change my mind and is available online or in store. I like Pacsun (but recently dont like any of their other backpacks), Hurley, Zoo York. Please help me!

I prefer camera backpacks such as lowepro computreker, is there anything out there same capacity but more versatile, like a shoulder bag or even better a backpack/shoulder bag.
Please help, much appreciated
