I have a Jansport Equinox day pack which has admirably served to carry my 5x7 Speeder kit for what? Ten or so years? Maybe longer.
For fun I was going to try for an "Impressionistic" shot of a fine looking ketch rounding the light house at the end of a breakwater---a perfect job for a handheld Speed Graphic so I shouldered my Equinox and scrambled out onto the breakwater to what I though would be a good location and set the day pack down on a flat rock to remove the camera and a film holder when...the pack fell over.
It wasn't a "fall" that could cause any damage other than some sand (quite a bit of sand actually) somehow got inside the day pack.
So I took everything out, turned the pack upside down and shook as hard as I could. I got a small handful of sand out, but almost as much remained inside the bag, stuck to the (PU ?) coating lining the bag. I mean stuck---like sand paper!
I was hoping someone here knows how to remove sand imbedded into the lining of my day pack, as I cant figure it out. Whatever I do to wipe it out just seems to grind the sand deeper into the fabric!
