I envy you, my friend. If the biggest issue you've had with the past few episodes is the orientation of Glenn's backpack, you're doing A-Okay. :zombies_lol:

 

Ha, I year ya. I still miss the orange backpack.

 

Rumor has it that a midget was hiding in that backpack. Ya know, they're really smart.

Oh shit! I said "midget". My bad. Sorry midgets.... I mean, little people. Oy!

 

I agree, but what was even more chilling to me, was that they wouldn't stop for the guy, but would stop for the backpack.

 

I think if surrounded by the Dead the backpack could be too easily grabbed and might actually be a thing that ends up trapping and not helping them if you can see my point?
Sort of like an extra handle on the back that can not be moved easily like your arms.
So rather than have it there and maybe be a liability they are ready to just drop it if in a fight?

We sure know there is nothing useful in the damn thing,no water,no ammo,no bible,no radio………???

 

I see your point. And I agree as well.
But, the liability can also be an asset, ie having the backpack to protect your back from getting bitten as it acts like an armour.

Anyway, I think the main reason is how Glenn carries his gun around. He is using a 'front chest' gun holster and a carrying a backpack on his back would make the strap interferes with getting the gun out.

 

The orange backpack is the single most important object in the whole of the ZA. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.

 

It doesn't look cool for him to wear a backpack.

 

I think the Orange Backpack ruined all other backpacks for him.
