  Cheap bags may be made, but I really do not suggest it. Unless you're really skilled at sewing, it's improbable to come out like you want. Also, even though you are a professional, it will probably get less of energy to grab an additional trip to work and buy a package with the profits.
  
  On the other hand, if you've a vintage backpack frame, you can make a cheap backpack with it. Remove the old group, and tie a plain nylon duffel bag to it firmly, with the zipper facing out. Little bungee wires will continue to work for connecting it also. I did this having an old aluminum body that still had a belt and straps, and for the expense of a duffel bag, I'd an external-frame backpack that not merely used a great deal, but considered only two pounds.
  
  Getting Cheap Backpacks
  
  There are many ways to buy low priced bags. Decreasing is to just watch for a great purchase. A faster way is always to look for a used pack online. Take to Ebay.com, or visit a backpacking or other outdoor community that enables visitors to offer their equipment, like whiteblaze.net. The forums are nice, since you can quickly ask questions regarding the pack.
  
  You may also get used backpacks cheap at rummage sales. Watch the ads for any reference to outdoor gear, and call to see when they have a backpack you may need. Maybe you are able to get it before the sale starts. Normally, start buying early, and discuss a bit. I recently bought a lovely Kelty frame-pack for $15 in a garage sale.
  
  Thrift shops often have low priced bags. More frequently they've day packs, but you never know. Acting Classes contains more about why to acknowledge this viewpoint. I've seen large old frame packs that were hard at thrift stores, and it occurred to me that for a few pounds I could just throw the package, and use the frame having a duffel bag, as described above.
  
  Yet another method to keep the cost down is to get light. The lightweight bags, unlike other lightweight equipment, are always cheaper compared to the big packages. You can cut costs too, if you've been considering lightening the load. Ultralight bags are often under two pounds and frame-less. You'll probably use a sleeping pad like a "frame" of sorts. The good news is that they are usually on-sale for under $100.
  
  Go-Lite has a few packs that are near $100, and sometimes on-sale at under that. The list price on the Granite Gear Virga Ultra Light Packer might still be under $100, and I have seen it on sale for under $80. It also weighs only 21 ounces, a plus for me, when I just like the concept of light AND low priced backpacks.
