1 I wish they had TWO side pockets with the tops elasticized
2 I wish all of the compartments were made out of the same material so that the little segments would connect to each other.
Right now, the way I have my backpack set up I pinned the small segments I need together. It works.

My twin and I bought these backpacks a year ago and have used them hiking mountains and gorges. They are very comfortable, hold what you need, and are very durable. I previously had a Vanguard backpack and was pleased, but this is a less expensive option, and works well.

I couldn’t locate previous pictures that I’ve taken, so I had to shoot what came along this month. (Sorry, the variety is slim. 😏) The first picture didn’t have a sunburst, so I put one in. (Not great, but it works… I guess.🙃)

This is a great assignment to photograph, and I love how many ways there are to shoot it! I pulled several of these pictures from my existing folders, but I did take a few at our lake with my favorite, all-purpose (to me 😁) lens (my 400 mm 😉) specifically for this STSA.

It was funny to see how many pictures I had of my siblings taking pictures ;😁 (I only submitted 3.). That is definitely one of our “niches”! The chores were harder to capture because it’s usually all of us doing them. Capturing them on camera takes some extra effort!
