Check this out, I bought one for my mom for her birthday and one for myself too. I’m such a bagaholic. Oh, and you HAVE to watch the video. Mary Sledd points out that at 1:04 the woman puts a Butterfinger in her Purseket then slams it right into her bag; surely this is not recommended.
I’ve been doing a lot of last-minute shopping and errand-running and gathering all my crap for the tour. Went a little crazy buying *even more* Eagle Creek Pack-It accessories — shit, I am the worst addict for that junk. An Eagle Creek Freak!! I started buying their stuff maybe five years ago, and now with this new stuff I have probably ten different items. I use them all constantly, and I love them, and it’s so stupid for me to talk about that here, but oh well. The first bag-thing I ever bought from them is almost indiscernable from the ones I bought yesterday, other than a new logo and a couple of design tweaks. That’s rugged!! I mean, don’t you hate shitty bags? My biggest pet peeve in bags is a crappy zipper that gets stuck, or a strap that comes loose all the time. Or a bag that takes ten minutes to get open and shut. Or one that’s always coming open and spilling your tampons all over the floor. Or a bag that can’t be soaked with beer and then washed with all your clothes, etc. etc. You know. Better just to spend the extra few bucks and get something that’ll outlive you.
