Homework Assignment 2.2 - User Needs

In looking more closely at user needs, I am pleased to discover that my initial gap statement holds up, needing little to no modification, although perhaps a little more unpacking...   It reads now: "A convincingly medieval-looking ergonomic backpack for carrying a day's worth of water & eating utensils during Live Action Role Play adventures."

My list of user needs which I hope to address with my project is as follows:

1. Holds enough water for a full day
2. Does not break/leak even after being dropped or fallen on
