Lands End Backpack
And I think we're gonna LOVE it! Can't remember who to credit but I read an old message posting that recommended it - thank you to whoever you are!! Filling it up and wishing we could take it for a spin tomorrow but fear that we would sink to our knees in mud!

Very nice looking. Does the pocket nearest your back have a double zipper? If so, you may want to consider getting a camelback or similar water bladder. It is very useful on trail to have the extra water, and it seems that the bladder would fit in there well.

That pocket has a zipper but not a double one. A camelback might fit in there though.

The backpack came with a vinyl "changing pad" (a.k.a. stamping pad:-) that is about 12x24 and folds to fit in that pocket. It's our favorite feature because we have always carried a small vinyl tablecloth to spread out for stamping and it usually was in a wad on top of everything else in our pack!

It also came with a 12x12 waterproof zippered bag - trying to figure out what to use this for - any suggestions?

you could put your stamp pads in it just in case they leak.....remembering trailtrolls message about the red in the carpet...YIKES
But what a good idea for the changing pad...I have a bunch of those stashed from kids and never used them (running to closet now to find them)

Changing pads would be great for sitting on while you are stamping in.

Traditionally, it is a map protector. Think orienteering. You'll need it when you travel to Dartmoor.

It seems like it would be the perfect thing to hold any wet paper towels/baby wipes you may use to clean the stamps. I like the idea of using a changing pad to stamp on. I never would have thought of it! *slapping palm of hand to forehead*!
