I need a Naneu backpack for my son to whom I refer to as "the boy" on my 365 project. At 17, he's not really a boy any longer and he's developing an interest in photography. His autism gives him a unique perspective and his vision is so wonderfully different than my own. One of his sensory needs is to carry a backpack because his autism requires the weight it provides as proprioceptive input. I carry a sling-type bag so, while he's willing to help mom out every now and then, it doesn't really "do it" for him. With a Naneu backpack, he could carry a camera with him to capture the world as he sees it as well as meet one of his basic needs as a young man with autism. Then, the boy, too, could join I65 (as he calls this site!) bc he would have his camera with him in his new Naneu backback. Who know? He could be the next Danny Beath or Henry Bond! Thank you for the opportunity to advocate, once more, for my son - the boy!

I need a Naneu backpack for carrying and protecting my camera on my upcoming honeymoon to Europe. A backpack is the easiest way to carry all the things you need for the day but I'm aware that it's relatively easy for someone to open up a backpack and steal the contents without the wearer's knowledge. This backpack looks like a great way to prevent that from happening.

That being said at age 59 we both are hitting the trails almost every other day in Colorado Springs. We both have a couple of cameras and lots of lenses and accessories. However, we carry our extra lenses in the pockets of our camo jackets and besides storing our gear in the original camera bags we are in desperate need of some type of transport system. I would love to win the contest for this Naneu Military Ops Camera Backpack/Bag.
