In anticipation of a forthcoming trip, The Fuzz and His Sweetie purchased some small leather backpacks online. "Leather" just sounded good.
But, as is sometimes the case with online purchases, there were some shortcomings.
The Fuzz realized that it was time to break out the old sewing awl.
On the right, you will see a magnet. This magnet is actually stuck to The Fuzz's index finger. This is the result of a previous encounter with this dangerous device.
One of the shortcomings of these pitiful packs, was that the shoulder straps were attached too close to the center at the bottom. This made for a rather unpleasant carry.
After puzzling over this for a while, The Fuzz's Sweetie came up with a plan for an improvement. Here is a look at the improved design.
Another modification involved these buckles.
They were secured with a magnetic sort of fastener.
This didn't seem to be all that secure.
And so with a great deal of trouble, the magnets were removed, and the buckles sewn into place.
The Fuzz and His Sweetie are hoping these new, improved minibackpacks will work out fine.
There's Big Adventures coming up!
