5/5 Definitely Worth the Time and Effort.
By Thatwalkingguy on August 11, 2048
“First RM recipe I’ve tried and couldn’t be more pleased! Easy and quick to put together as advertised. Zippers and buckles all work well and seem to be constructed well. One of the most comfortable backpacks I own. Insulated pouch kept my Manimal cold after 2 hours of hiking. Haven’t tried attaching solar panels but the fabric itself was sufficient to keep my phone charged. Being a tactical pack it’s not for long trips but is perfect for a day or two alone in the wilderness. I would definitely try out other Hikeway recipes!”
2 /5 No Substitutes?
By craftgal on July 14, 2048
“Tried to substitute materials like I have done MANY times before with other projects but wasn’t allowed to. WTF!! I just wanted to make the body out of glass so I could see inside. With the see-through craze going on now I can’t imagine why this isn’t allowed. I should be able to have a glass backpack if I want. LAME!!!!!!”
3 /5 Hikeway Doesn’t Know What Words Mean
By HarryG on August 3, 2048
“Tried out this recipe for a specific trip with the guys. It was very easy to put together and felt comfortable on my back. Chose this model for its size and claims of water resistance. We were taking a 3 day canoeing trip so weight and water were definitely going to be an issue. Packed my usual camping gear and included an old tablet filled with all the great buddy canoeing movies I could think of. First night was fine. Nobody could stop talking about the movie from the previous night. One of my buddies was arguing with me about why I’d show a certain movie because he doesn’t understand theme trips. While I was trying to explain to him that nobody was going to have to squeal on this trip if I had anything to say about it, the canoe flipped and into the river I went, pack and all.
I got out of the river ok but it took a while to find my backpack. It was trapped against a rock and had the river pushing against it for almost an hour before we found it. We made camp to let me dry off and I discovered the inner pouch was full of water. The tablet was ruined so we had to spend the rest of the trip talking or listening to the sounds of the woods at night instead of watching my theme movies.
Water resistant means that something is resistant to water to me. Whether it be a light rain, a spilled bottle of water, or a river pumping thousands of gallons a minute this bag should have kept the water out. I would suggest the official description make note of exactly how much water is too much so others aren’t duped like I was.”

3 /5 Keep the Sponsored “Suggestions” To Yourselves!
By harshner on July 21, 2048
“I find it hilarious that there is a blatant ad in the product description. The rules clearly state that descriptions should be concise, and void of advertisements. Unless you’re in charge of multiple devices or trying to power something big there is no need for you to buy one of Hikeway’s overpriced solar panels. Even if you did need more power, I don’t know why you’d use ancient solar technology instead of paying a few dollars more for a kinetic charger. It’s like this bag is marketed to cavemen or something instead of people who know anything about the technology of the past 10 years. If you’re going to try to slip an ad in, please make it for something a modern person would actually want.”
4 /5 Good Product Terrible Support
By user8 on August 17, 2048
“Was raised by my grandfather and learned a lot from him. He’d take me hiking all the time up by his cabin. His favorite spot was a few days hike to a little lake called Cloud Lake nestled in the mountains. I learned about life, love, and about what it takes to be a responsible adult coming down that trail. He never expected to be raising another kid during his retirement and I never expected to be in the situation I was.
He never complained once and I never felt like I wasn’t wanted or cared for. It could have gone really bad, but it didn’t thanks to him. When he passed and I learned that his last wishes were to have his ashes spread over the shores of Cloud Lake I didn’t hesitate. The truth is I owed him much more than carrying him one last time to the place we loved, but it was a start.
As others have said the pack was really easy to put together and was very comfortable. I have zero issues with this backpack itself. The only thing that would have protected his urn from the fall I took is a metal case. I’m not upset that when I opened the bag I found his ashes all over. I did the best I could and spread what I could gather up inside the bag but I evidently didn’t get all of it.
A few days later I found the copy of The Count of Monte Cristo he had given me in the bag. I didn’t think much of it and put it back on the shelf, but that was just the beginning. The next day the bag was on my bed and the book was inside again. I live alone and this was starting to freak me out. I put the book on the shelf again and threw the bag in my trunk. The next morning the backpack was sitting on my passenger seat.
I knew what had happened. Some of grandpa is still in the bag and he wants me to bring him to the lake. The problem is the bag looks clean to me. I called Hikeway multiple times now but they just put me on hold or in one case, hung up and laughed. This is not a laughing matter to me. I have a beautifully made bag that is haunted now and I can’t get anyone from the company to give me a solution. If you’re looking for a company that stands behind their products no matter what, look someplace else!”
2 /5 Bad Attitudes and False Allegations!
By dadface on July 3, 2048
“I’m not sure what anti-theft zippers are but my toddler seems to be able to use them and he’s not a master thief! I’m surprised that these kind of allegations would make it through your marketing department. This is NOT how you treat a customer!”

2 /5 Black but Not Cool!
By DaddyOh on July 11, 2048
“My stepdaughter is going through a black period right now. Her hair’s black. Her lips and nails are black. Her clothes are black, even her shoes. The music coming out of her room sounds like a combination of a cat wailing and a funeral dirge. When I asked her what was going on she said that she was sick of being my cookie cutter perfect daughter and wanted to be able to express herself and be unique. All of her friends act and dress the same.
They make me drop them off a few blocks before every destination so they won’t have to be seen with me. I’m trying, I really am. I just don’t understand why someone would look at the rosy hue of a young girl’s cheek and say, “You know what would look good there? A silver skull piercing.” I’m baffled as to why that piercing would be so expensive.
She refuses to use the school bag I got her last year and with the amount I’m paying for little silver skulls and all things dark, I was looking to save a little money. When I saw this Hikeway bag I thought I had the perfect solution. I could print out the pieces and build it myself so it would be cheap. It was black just like everything she loves. It had an insulated pouch to keep drinks cold because suburban suffering is thirsty work. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
She screamed that I didn’t understand her, that the bag was anything but cool because of something about the buckles, and that I’m always trying to buy her love. If you are going to have something that looks cool but actually isn’t there should be some sort of warning. It’s hard enough being a parent without keeping track of what makes a bag cool or not. It’s Hikeway’s job to let consumers know things like this and they dropped the ball big time.”
