Shopping Bag Backpack

Here's how to take free materials and easily turn them into a functional, useful backpack.

Step 1: Don the Bag

Insert one arm into the handle of the shopping bag.

It's helpful to have slim shoulders, but any will do.

Otherwise appropriate modifications to the bag are possible. That is, rip the bag if it doesn't fit.

It's an old navy airstrip. So they come out here and do huge explosions every now and then. Also, The Matrix built a two-mile long highway here for one of their sets. Where do you kite?

[stasterisk]

Yes! This is in fact where the mythbusters come when they break huge things! Do you kite?

don't do this. It cuts off the circulation to you're arms. I've tried

step 2: rip the bag if it doesn't fit.

"And the Noble Peace Prize goes to......Stasterisk! For his grocery bag innovation, a plastic bag backpack!" In all seriousness, at least he didn't take a sharpie and write "backpack" on the bag or something similar so he could distinguish normal trash from his prized backpack.

That would have at least added another step to attempt to modify the bag somehow.

You.... didn't actually do anything with the bag. You just put it on your back. :/

I would DESTROY that bag if I tried to put it around my back. Think, "David Banner, I just slashed your tires."
