Modern backpackers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts need to carry more than the traditional survival and exploration materials when going on an excursion. Especially for young explorers, there are several electronic devices that are necessities of a good trip, and laptops are now a common piece of equipment in natural environments these days. While there are hundreds of tactical outdoor backpacks on the market and just as many laptop bags currently available, it is hard to find the right combination of both.
But there are a few great bags out there that combine the rugged practicality of a tactical backpack with the modern capabilities of a laptop bag. These are perfect for nature bloggers, outdoor photographers, travellers who work from a computer or just students who want to look awesome and rugged in class. Whatever your needs, the following bags are just as useful for camping as for software testing.
