we’re told what to pack
we’re packing our uniforms
i don’t really have a choice, as far as the amount of clothing thats required

I have a brother in law (and his entire family) in Nigeria right now, and have been since last August and won’t return until this July/Aug. I have had friends whose teenage kids spent 2-3 aweeks in Kenya with church groups as well. Since we don’t know what you’re up to over there, and you didn’t ask for help or advice on that, I’ll stick to the question:

Your question was about a backpack, so here is my advice:

If there is any way at all that you can go to an REI store or other similar store, I would recommend that. If the pack you get doesn’t fit properly, you’ll be miserable. If you must buy online, some of the online stores will offer "fit help" on the site – they’ll tell you what size of torso works best for a particular pack. Definitely pay attention to the measurements.

That being said, you can get great deals from Sierra Trading Post, and their shipping is prompt. (REI is quick too). If you’re worried about making sure you get the right pack, order 2 different ones, and send back the one you don’t like:

There are tons more…

Good luck!

Restore the shine to outdoor plastic furniture?

March 9th, 2010

I have dark green outdoor chairs and a small table over the years they have weathered and lost their shine. What can I use to clean and restore the shine? I am concerned that whatever I use will not come off on our clothing when sitting in the chairs.
