Cheap and easy backpack storage

So I'm still waiting for my tools and everything to get to Clarksville, TN from Germany, but I have been buying the bare minimum here and there so I can at least play with my new toy a little.

As my little collection grew, I relaized I neede some sort of way to stow the stuff for now, and I was walking through Wal-Mart with the family and told my wife I needed to go to the automotive section to find a solution to my problem, when my 3 year old daughter said "just get a backpack, Daddy". So I did:



I just unddi the straps to the backpack, slid the bottom straps under the seatback and reconnected on the other side. The slider buckles are in the lower back area for a passenger sitting in the middle of the back seat, but hey all that's in there now are three car seats!

I know there are some pretty HD rear cargo setups going on, but that area will be reserved for my 80lb Bull Dog. I'll be going with a roof rck to lug the kids/Wife's gear out for camping.

This setup could work for a quick grab bag if it was reversed to sit inside of the seat, as long as no one is sitting there.

Oh yeah- backpack= $9.

Being able to "let my wife know" her bleach leaked all over my cargo area after doing laundry at the laundry-mat= priceless (I hear sh-t constantly about her 2WD Liberty.......)

Looks good, thanks for the tip.

good thing you've got a couple Jeeps, cuz that other hobby that you and the misses have will get expensive!

good idea on the backpack- sometimes it takes a young and unclouded mind to see the obvious.

Good cheap idea. Thanks for sharing.

That's a good tip. I use a backpack for my fishing tackle, after trying all different kinds of tackle storage this has been the easiest way to carry my tackle around a lake or on a long walk to a good fishing hole. Plus I can just bungee cord it down in the jeep and go! No more plastic tackle boxes sliding around!

That's pretty clever

I think I will steal this idea when I go to college in September. It will keep my books clean incase I get the urge/invite to get dirty.

AIR ASSAULT brother!

HAHA Shorty- The hobby is done. I have three daughters- three strikes and I'm out.

Oh yeah and the wife's bleach stripped my paint to the primer........
