sweet!...suggestion...be sure to include lots of clippy straps(easily stolen from most shopping carts) and "D" rings and the like.....for me, i like having lots of options for strapping and bungee cording shit to my pack

Yeah, definitely! I am putting extra straps on the top and bottom of the pack to adhere a sleeping bag and other things to!

I wasn't thinking about D rings though, good suggestion! If I remember, I will post a picture of my final product in a week or two. Getting the straps from shopping carts is also an awesome idea!

I guess I'd have to go with my mandolin, I can entertain myself or make money with it, plus I'm 6'4" 250lbs and look kind of intimidating when I'm hitching and when I put it standing in front of my bag people tend to think to themselves " ohhh a large man with a tiny instrument he's not a a violent weirdo". It has gotten me rides.

easily the top part of my pack. it comes off and turns into a fancy fany pack. i can literally hold easily 3 days worth of supplies in it, including my hammock. and i can attach my sleeping bag to it. if i have to stash my pack anywhere, i just take the top part off and throw it over my shoulder.

The can opener on the wave works very well!

Do NOT use the standard screwdriver blade to try to pry with, it's kind of brittle(said traveling after he broke the damn blade)

The saw blade will cut a 2x4. I know this for a fact, though it takes a few minutes!

The file blade is quite handy.
