I’ve got a backpack that’s falling apart after less than a year and was looking for a much better one that will hold up well. Specifically, the use case is dragging food home from grocery stores or dragging cards in plastic boxes/board games around at best…

        Let me guess, English isn’t your first language?

        I don’t mean literally dragging around, I meant it figuratively. But you did make me laugh a bit so a point for you.

          I’m a native English speaker, but you mentioned dragging twice. I was being facetious, so I guess you got it.

          In my locale we would probably use the term schlep or haul or pack.

          But in all seriousness, you should consider a grocery hand cart. Backpacks are great and all but for maybe up to 15 lbs. Beyond that and it’s nice to have it on wheels. I’ve carried a backpack for thousands of miles, and I’ll gladly repeat it, but when there are other options and the ground is flat…

          Interestingly, English is my first language and the native language of my home country, and this is not a phrase you would expect to hear unless literal dragging is involved. In my country, we might say “lugging” or “hauling” where you used “dragging”. Maybe it is a local thing for you.
