best camping backpack for kids image
Brian P
I am looking to start doing some lightweight hiking and camping and I am looking for a good internal frame pack that will hold enough clothing and equipment for my 7year old son and I for 2 days. If anyone has any input I would be most thankful.

Answer
a lightweight pack for 2 is going to be a little tough
if you pack a tent and two sleeping bags and pads, you are going to need some volume
I have a Jansport that is around 4200 cu in and It works pretty good for a 3 day trip in summer or 2 day in winter if weather is mild
try info at REI
they also carry some pretty good stuff
Campmor has some good prices
the best bet on a pack is to get all your stuff together that you think you will take and pack it all down to camping supply store and see what fits

When did kids start wearing backpacks to school?

In movies dated in the 1960-70s, you always see students carrying their books in a stack, even when they're walking from school to home. It has me wondering if backpacks were around back then.
So when were backpacks invented, and when did students start using them to carry their books?
Answer
Late 70's and early 80's is when we see the school backpack come into style.
Before that backpacks were big hulking things only used for camping and outdoor adventures. They date back to the 1800's and probably even before that. This was due to the rigid frames most people thought you needed to distribute the weight. Eventually, somebody came up with the knapsack (early 20th century or there abouts) and it only took a few decades to get the knapsack renamed a bookbag.
