It lets you carry even more than 40L if you ever need to because of the roll top. It's expandable.

The label reads: Elmer's Adventure, which Google points to as a 1997 anime film.

I don't know which one is Elmer, but the adventure seems to be either going really well or really poorly.

Just curious but why 40L? That's :lol: huge for a commuting backpack and overkill for travel if you pack smart.

I mean, not really, I’m 6’4” and I have to haul around a comically large laptop for work, so this size allows me to comfortably pack a spare pair of my Sasquatch shoes and dress clothes so I can change when I get in. It’s really about a perfect size for my proportions, all things considered.

For reference, I go backpacking with a 50L pack that’s more than adequate space for a weeks worth of food, shelter, etc, so it’s not like I don’t have a pack light mentality already. It’s just that my poo poo takes up a larger volume for reasons beyond my control :shrug:

Inspector 34 posted:

It’s waterproof (no leaky zippers) and I just like top loader packs because the storage space is more versatile than something with compartments. Kind of like a hatchback car vs a sedan. Plus there are no zippers to snag or break.

As long as you make some kind of noise you’d do better than anyone here. I’ll ride my bike on the city greenway, where motorized things aren’t allowed, and get passed by these silent things going balls fast and the driver won’t even let me know he’s overtaking me 6 inches away.

The city is already ugly but these things littering the greenways and parks bugs me.

It's crazy just how much more suitcase room you need at 6'4", especially if you need to pack an extra set of clown shoes (15 EEEE anyone?) Moving to american apparel 50/50 shirts has helped, but any dress clothes, jackets, that sort of thing just chews up space. My wife can pack nearly twice as much stuff in the same suitcase.

Even having been spoiled on a ton of it that’s a great loving movie.

Yeah, I don't know how this happened because the first and second movies are great and some of the best of the decade, but the third is probably the best of all of them.

I just saw it a few hours ago and I already can't loving wait to go see it again. It's one of those movies.

Zelda is by far the best game there but I don't really see it as an RPG like the other games. It's more action-adventure.
