50 pound feed bag backpack

These old external frame
backpacks have a top and bottom compartment. Cutting out the canvas
divider makes an area barely big enough to handle a 50 pound bag of
chicken feed.
I've only done one trip
loaded with feed, but I can already tell it's going to be a huge
improvement over the old method of pouring out half the bag so it would
fit our smaller back packs.
We found our external frame
backpack on Ebay for around 30 dollars.

Can you please explain to me why you are packing feed around? I'm assuming that there is a back story that I'm missing and it must be a good one. Excellent use of an old pack, BTW!
