The backpack I have right now is kind of a piece of shit...there's hardly any external pockets and the "frame" is a thin rectangle of plastic. Plus the zippers stick. However, the hundred-some dollars needed for a nice pack is unlikely to come easily to me, and if it does, it's not going to be spent on backpacks.
I'm not on the street right now so it's not terribly urgent, but has anyone ever modded a shitty pack to work better? I want to add more pockets to mine, maybe replace the frame with something sturdier, that kind of thing. Is this just an exercise in futility, though? Anyone have any advice?
Also, if I do end up buying a new one, I was thinking about an Alice pack...anyone have good experiences with that one? It looks handy but also a little like it might be bad for my back...idk.
