I was watching some U-tubes about Cody Lundin. In one of them I noticed that he went into the desert with some trainees and carried what looks like a meassenger-style bag. I wondered : Isn't a backpack more comfortable ?

Before posting the question here I imagined osme of you asking : the guy doesn't wear shoes and you are wondering about him not using a backpack ???

LOL... But really, do you see something I might have missed ? If he is doing what aboriginies (sp?) folks did , I think they did have home-made backpacks in those days.
