I don’t really know how to explain knapsacks, as it is probably something you would have to see and be in the environment to understand. They are generally used when going on tiyulim like to the beach or hiking, and if that is what a bochur is doing, then fine. But to go to the BM, not really. No, Wolf, it does not mean that you are a goy (if that is what you were thinking I am intimating) if you take your things to your chavrusashaft in a knapsack (or similar or even “worse” social offenses). Here in EY, I see that there are more socially accepted (at least in my opinion) ways of dressing depending on what circles you travel in. It is not this way in America in the least, so you probably can’t relate to what I’m saying.
