Adventurer's Pack, It is a magic item, with 15 "slots". It allows the player to remove any mundane item that would fit in a Back Pack. The pack is limited to only 15 item, thereafter it becomes a normal pack. Yes, very meta gamey and lazy of me. But it has been really fun in its use and over the years has had to be modified at times. The pack is 50 GP and can only work once per character.
