knapsack
Hiker's canvas bag
A knapsack is a bag carried on the back, typically with two shoulder straps.
The word is somewhat old-fashioned; backpack has largely replaced it in everyday speech.
Knapsack persists in hiking contexts and in the phrase knapsack problem, a classic puzzle in computer science about fitting items of different weights into a container of limited capacity.
