The Fanny Pack

So I'm leaving the country in seven months. *Inner Scream* So naturally I've been trying to do my homework but obviously having zero money it isn't inspiring knowing that this time next year I'm going to be beyond penniless. So I have decided that I'm taking a backpack, more than that I hardly know, but, whilst looking I found one of these (drum roll please) :

Look at that bad boy. Sorry to sound so common. But wow. I mean why? Why on earth would you buy one of these things? I shouldn't call it a fanny pack, not being American and all, however, call it what you will, this is one of the most unattractive inventions in the history of the universe. It isn't like I have massive issues with fashion and I think we can all assume that I don't have great fashion sense, however, this ^^ Unacceptable. I know they can probably keep your things safe, but surely there is a better way than this. I don't feel that any situation can validate the need for the presence of a bum bag. I just can't. And I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone I don't mean to, honestly I don't that isn't what I do here, what I do do however, is convey my personal opinion and explore my impossible to fathom thoughts. For example what is this?! Why? Who thought that this would be a good thing to have?

Anyway, majority of rant concerning fanny pack over, I also looked at backpacks, as I have decided that that form of bag would be a good idea for the extensive amount of travel that I will take part in, especially considering I will be moving over the whole of New Zealand, and then in America, I can just hide it. Unfortunately for my sister however, I have never wanted more than at the moment to really explore the island, not just the cities and a few trips into the mountains, I want to walk up one, I want to camp under the stars and, god damn it, I want to explore, I want to have an adventure. But I don't think that my sister would be overly up for that, then again I figure that if I can get her to bungee jump then maybe I can get her to sleep under the stars, only for one night, and it would be free.

I suppose my main issue with the above is that it doesn't really offer anymore protection for your belongings any other bags, especially if you're one of those silly beans that wear it behind you, you might as well wear a rucksack. Not only that, they are just as easy to steal, even if your wearing it, even I can release a buckle like the one above. It isn't hard. 

Please people, hear my plea. No fanny packs, bum bags or otherwise. Please.
