Need backpack recommendation
Can you guys recommend a simple, water-resistant backpack for under $40? Looking for something I could use to store my bottled water, keys, and maybe another thing or two - nothing over-the-top. Most of the stuff I've found online is either super expensive or when it's a bit less pricey, it comes with a ton of pockets and every bell and whistle under the sun. Wasn't sure where else to look, so figured I'd ask you guys. I'm assuming such a bag exists?

Just go to a store...

Buy any bag that works for you, buy silicone spray to make it water resistant/proof

How come people can't buy or do anything without posting on the internet first? Have we really become so ****ing mindless as a species?

does it hold ****? sweet. does it go on your back? sweet. buy it. Go down to target, pick up a jansport and call it a day. |
A chain called Five Below, if there's one in your area, while they still may have school supplies: $5 or less.

Can you clarify - you want to carry bottled water and keys. I get that. But what are you talking about bells? Is that the "thing or two" you are talking about? Are you in a band or a choir or something? How big are the bells? I know most whistles are small so if you can clarify how big the bells are and how many you carry, that will help.

Seems the wit is endless on this board. But just in case you're serious, I mean I don't want headphone sockets, 30 zippers, and 40 pockets, etc.

Like Nag said, Jansport at Target/Wallyworld, that shouldn't be more than $30. And then you can get a can of silicone spray for like $4-5, and you could even get two cans and make it insanely waterproof. All Problems solved.

Tell me you're joking please. Or you are proving Scrod's point.
Why don't you tell me why wouldn't I be serious. I haven't been in a thirft store since I was 5. |

You know, although I appreciate your help, I'd suggest, for the sake of some of the members sanity, that we put an end to the recommendations. At least until the meds have kicked in.
Is this even a thing? |
Wait-what?? Scrod, when the hell did you start recruiting henchmen? I'm hurt you didn't invite me to the tryouts. Really.

Just in case. |

I feel like Scrod hasn't posted again yet because he's walking out to the shed, looking for his hammer.

That. Or it takes a bit of time to type while gently moving his lovely locks out of the way.
