Backpack

The **Backpack** allows Sasquatch to carry food and collected items.

At the start of the game, Raccoon gives Sasquatch a choice between a red, green, or blue backpack. You can talk to him again to choose another backpack, but only until you leave the starting area.

You can buy more backpacks in different colors at the Backpack Supply Co (for 100, 200, or 300 coins), but all of them are only cosmetic differences, and provide no advantage over each other. Unused backpacks are stored in this shop, and can be switched for free.

## Interface

The backpack icon opens the main menu of the game. Then you can tap the backpack (in the lower part of the screen) to check its contents.

When you open a container of food, you can drag food items to the backpack in the lower left corner to collect them. Tap the backpack and drag items out to put them into the container.

## Food

You can drag items of food into the backpack, or tap the backpack to open it and take food out.

The backpack can contain up to 75 food items. Inedible items like Dog Poop also count towards this limit.

This limit can be temporarily surpassed by fishing, receiving Mail from the Mailroom Manager, allowing the Construction Duck to open crates obtained via Port Theft, or receiving a delivery from Shopping Bonanza.

The backpack is not available when you are arrested by the Police and put into jail, or when you participate in a competition like racing, skiing, golfing, etc. However, food items can still be taken out of the backpack and fed to the Dog while in jail.

## Background items

Some items, like Vehicle Keys, are permanently stored in the backpack, and do not count towards the item limit. These items can be seen on the bottom of the backpack, below the food.
