As in "how can I tie this to 'backpacks' as an adjective to describe it, just to
be silly. I could have said "wow you really "packed" a lot in" but that would
have been TOO obvious. I could have XFUT to off-topic.pun, but, again, too
obvious. So remembering that backpack == going camping (sometimes) I went with
"campy"
