The next day arrived quickly.
In his small attic, Colin was packing up the things he planned to take on this trip.
With money in his pocket, he was determined not to experience sleeping on rocks again. Besides, the burlap sack he used last time had to be carried by hand most of the time, which made his arm sore.
He had also returned the waterskins and other items to Bob; they were someone else's property, after all. Now that he was setting out, he couldn't go without water.
So, after agonizing over it for a good while yesterday, Colin had gone and bought some equipment for the trip.
He picked up a large two-strap backpack and tied his sleeping bag to the top.
The backpack was made of thick leather and durable canvas. It was equipped with sturdy leather buckles and plenty of straps, perfect for tying the sleeping bag to the top.
He also had two new waterskins. He wasn't sure what kind of leather they were made of, but they seemed sturdy and reliable enough.
