Camo Alice
What are those backpacks with a lot of pockets called?? (Read description.)?

SOMEONE has to know what that freakin backpack is called..!! The CLOSEST thing I could find was called an Alice Pack, but I’m not sure that’s exactly what I’m looking for.. The backpack I’m looking for is (usually green I guess or) camo. It does NOT have a zipper though.! It has a drawstring (<- Or whatever it's called) instead of a zipper. && It has pockets on like the whole outside of the bag.!! The material is more like cloth, not plastic or anything, && I'm pretty sure it doesn't really have an internal or External Frame.. PLEASE HELP, This is like the only thing I’m worried about at the moment.. Lmao But seriously, I’ll love you forever if you help me.. ..

What you are looking for is a multi-pocketed rucksack, of which there are many designs. The material is normally cotton duck, canvas, nylon or polyester, or a cotton and synthetic fiber mixture.
It’s just a particular style of unframed backpack or rucksack.
Some similar backpacks have one or a few or Many Pockets, some don’t.
Some of those with pockets are designed for cameras and lenses, flashguns and filters etc for photography and some are intended for fishing or hunting with pockets for various accessories for those.
Some just have pockets for whatever you want them for and all of them come in black or white, various colors, and with camouflage patterns or other designs.
They are sold in shops and on market stalls all over the world.

Some people distinguish between a rucksack which has pockets and a backpack which has no pockets, especially it seems in Canada.
In most of the English-speaking world the two words mean exactly the same thing and are interchangeable.
Ruck is German for back. Sack is German for sack, bag, pack
Rucksack = Back Pack.
Many rucksacks have drawcords (=drawstrings, interchangeable words) and no zippers.
Some have drawcords for the top but zippers or straps on the pockets. Some have only zippers.
Some have straps and pockets with clip fasteners or with press stud fasteners or Velcro fasteners.

A simple early version of rucksack, often square or rectangular, is a knapsack.
Knapsacks have two Shoulder Straps like a rucksack but the word is now sometimes used to include bags having One Strap, which are normally called haversacks especially by the military.

• Knapsack
v. t.) A case of canvas or leather, for carrying on the back a soldiers necessaries, or the clothing, etc., of a traveler.
Synonyms:
Haversack,

Here is a picture of a classic early style of knapsack

Putting the word ‘knapsack’ in the search box brings up this big selection of bags, many of which would not be called knapsacks by most people who normally use the word.

An Alice pack is a style of rucksack issued by the USA military.
ALICE is short for All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment and includes a set of webbing as well as the various packs that attach to it or are otherwise associated with it.

Similar webbing systems have been used by the British Army since before the Boer War.
Here is one from 1920

The British Army issues a style of rucksack known as a Bergen, named after the town of Bergen in Norway.
In the UK the word Bergen is sometimes used as a word for all rucksacks, especially by young people and street-cred wannabees who like the military associations of bravery, daring-do and and ‘toughness’ implied by that, as though carrying a Bergen is a tougher and braver task than carrying a rucksack of the same size and weight.

Love is a multi-faceted human emotional and socio-biological psychological condition with an underlying wonderful beauty and simplicity. ( When any of us really get there)
In the song Habanera Bizet’s Carmen calls it a rebellious bird. .un oiseau rebelle.
One too many loves brought her an early death, killed by a lover.
Meriee heard of her fate, wrote a novella about it and Bizet turned it into an opera.
Please feel free to revise your stated commitment……play it safe, haha…xxx
Go and see the tobacco factory where the real Carmen worked. It’s now the city university, easy to look up.
Seville …por me un ciudad perfectos.
