"When selecting a traveling backpack; one of the things you want to look at is you want to look at the size. How long; how much are you going to be carrying? How are you going to be gone for? Now this is a general travel bag and there's a lot of different shapes; there's a lot of different styles; there's a lot of different products out there. This is just one that has worked well for, for my need. It has two long side pockets; it has several front pockets; allows me to have some access to some things that I might need while traveling. A little place for my water bottle, right here; again, it's important to have access to my water bottle. Then it has a very large main central area. Conveniently for when I'm at, in an airport; it's on wheels, you could just bust out the handle and wheel it from spot to spot. Now when it's time for the adventures to begin, we pull out the backpacks. Now these are not; generally speaking, a travel backpack or an adventure backpack is not going to be real comfortable. We're using this to get from point A to point B; this is not comfortable like a backpack would be. But it allows me to hoof it over rugged terrain on, on and off boats and things like that. We're already go; safe adventures."
