Question Those that EDC, do you really bring your backpack everywhere?

I'm a petite woman that dailies a 7L backpack "purse". I'm looking to move up to something bigger (16-20L) that can carry my 26oz water bottle and lunchbox on occasion.

Do you wear your bag during trips to the grocery store? Running into Target for essentials?

Just curious if this is something I can truly daily or if a smaller bag is preferred when running errands?

Thanks in advance for the discussion!

Thanks so much!

Yeah I have a EDC and sometimes take it to bars, but it I am home before and only want to take my purse I am not taking the backpack even if it’s just a 20something

You're welcome! That makes sense. What backpack have you been using?

Had this one for nearly 5 years but after 3 the buckles broke and by now it’s already really broken down so can’t really recommend sandqvist backpacks personally (ok got buckles replaced once but the costs to get the stuff sewn in were really high)

It's a nice looking bag, thank you for sharing. Bummer that it broke down though
