Step 1Stuff You Need

Stuff You Need
To create the perfect back pack for you, you need a couple of supplies.

1. A back pack (duh.) - Preferably plain, with few designs.
2. Spray Paints - They can be any color or colors you want.
3. Stencil (Optional) - Look online. Any search engines will list a bunch of sites where you can print and cut out the stencil.
4.Painters tape or Weights (Optional) - I used some metal screws and bolts as a weight to hold down the stencil.
5.Creativity, Time and Imagination - Helps A LOT with these kinds of projects.

This seems like a great idea for those of us who walk/hike at night.
Why, oh WHY! do the bleeping camping catalogs insist on selling backpack that are the same "hit me with your car please" dark grey, black, and navy blue?
