Backpack

carrying gear · everyday essential · hiking

Two-strap design. Backpacks have two straps that go over your shoulders to hold them in place. This spreads the weight across both shoulders so you don't get hurt from carrying heavy things on just one side.

Frames make it easier. Some backpacks have frames inside or outside them that move the weight from your shoulders down to your hips. This is super helpful on long hikes because it makes the heavy load feel much lighter and more comfortable.

Many different names. Backpacks go by lots of nicknames around the world, like rucksack, knapsack, schoolbag, and haversack. No matter what you call it, the idea is the same: a bag you wear on your back to carry your stuff.

Built for adventures. Backpacks are perfect for hiking, camping, and traveling because you can keep your hands free while carrying everything you need. The design lets you move around easily even when you're loaded up with gear.
