Enjoy your retirement, ol' red

Since of September of 1999 I've used my MEC Adventurer Daypack for everything from school, hikes, traveling, photography, work, just about everything. When I say "traveling", I don't just mean using as a carry on and then checking into a resort. I mean hiking for days with it as my day bag in the Andes in Peru. I love this bag. And once upon a time the bag was red, too.



After many years of abuse, the rubber coating inside has flaked off and sticks to any cloth things that are put inside. It was time to look for a replacement. After much evaluation based on carry on size restrictions, comfort, size capability, shape of the bag, cost, etc, I eventually just bought another "adventurer daypack". Unfortunately it doesn't come in my preferred colours (red or blue), but that's an easy thing to overlook for such a great bag.

After over 12 years and more km than I can count, 'ol red doesn't owe me anything. I hope that it'll be able to enjoy a nice retirement at the back of the closet.
