Howie member Registered: 06/02/03 Posts: 481 Loc: Canora, SK, Canada	I used a $20.00 book bag knapsack for a while. The only thing I found was it leaked in heavy rain, so I upgraded to my Vaude. It is a very comfortable pack with a rain cover. I cannot remember what it cost but it was probably expensive. If I were a less wealthy man I might have just rigged up a pack cover for the book bag.
