Well, they were a necessity, because I hate wearing a backpack while hiking a tropical rainforest because you get this sweat stain at the small of your back even if the rest of you is dry. And that kind of inconsistency can drive a person like me to insanity. And then if you need something it&#8217;s always at the bottom of the bag and there&#8217;s always that rat&#8217;s nest of stuff in there that you have to dig through as items may have become jostled during the bumpy-ass jeep ride.
