    Hey folks!

    Son has been looking for a canvas rucksack style back pack for the upcoming school year, and damned if I can't find one in the city for him to get a proper look at. Tried TK Maxx, McCarthy's and a few camping shops around the city.

    Any ideas where has them?

    Has he ever used one before?

    I had one for a about a month as a kid and I can remember everything would fall out of it, as they've no structural shape to them.

    Plus, if anything spills or it touches off anything that can stain, you'll struggle to keep it clean.

    He was using my old one for a good while and absolutely loved it, but due to time (it's well over 15 years old) it's started to fall apart.

    I double checked in Murray's today and the Army Surplus in Midleton and no luck. The hunt goes on it seems!

    Something like this, OP?

    It's in the US, but if it cannot be sent here, then you can always AddressPal it.

    That would be ideal for him. Ideally we'd like to get it from a store though to make sure it's a proper fit. No hassle ordering it online, but it'd be the last resort if you get me.
