I think I saw a number of those backpacks at Microcenter- they can always be repurposed, right? I understand what you mean about gear bags and such being personal- I dislike the way ours is set up, but until I get my sewing chops up to snuff I'll have to just lump it. One of our first gear bags now carries hygiene stuff in one of our cars. All those weird-sized pockets are put to use.
