A backpack is a great way to introduce yourself to the world of wfp relatively cheap and can still be put to good use when eventually you upgrade to a van mounted system

I use a backpack ALL the time.  No big commercials though.  You have to set it up right.  Have it mounted on a rack so you don't have to lift it

That's a big backpack Dave.  Are the tyres to stop it digging into your back?
