hi hi all

The bunny is looking for a fairly cheap hard shell type backpack

Used is fine, a little dinged up is fine too.  Color doesn't matter either since I can always paint it.

So if anyone has something I might uses give me a holler

If your looking for a cheap rugged backpack I would suggest going to any nearby army surpluss, navy, airforce or marine maybe even national guard surpluss stores in your area. The ones near me carry at the MINIMUM 5 kinds of used packpacks for around $20-50 pending on condition, era, and also purpose and size.

Also I would suggest if your looking for a brand new packpack that will last a while, but your ok with spending some serious cash, go look here:

Now they are not "hard" untill you put stuff inside, however if you want something that can take a few whacks:

However, keep this in mind: hardshell can break, once broken the whole backpack is now useless, unless you have a knack for using a torch to carefully melt the plastic back into shape which is for the most part, impossible.
However, if you want a round like backpack I would suggest you look up the following kinds online and at surpluss stores:
USCAV Bugout bag
BlackHawk 3-day assault backpack
Under Armour Tactical Backpack
Small or medium Allice pack with MOLLE and quick release capability.

The above on the website are VERY pricy, however it will give you more grounds to go look up equivalents or at least know what to ask about in the surpluss stores. I would shop around the stores a bit first.
