Pfft. When I was young, I had to walk to TWO schools while carrying TWO heavy backpacks. The bus wasn’t free because buses were still feral vehicles that tried to kill us on our way to school.
Wtf kind of school are you going to if you have a heavy packback? Unless you are taking welding equipment to school or something you really don’t need much at all. School backpacks are usually pretty small.
Sure its more than a few sheets of paper but a textbook is nothing compared to tent, sleeping bag, stove, fuel, water, food. Which is perfectly normal stuff that someone can pack into a bag and walk over 10 miles with.
Eh, 1 mile is pretty far when carrying a heavy backpack. If it’s free, I’d take the bus.

Ever heard of textbooks? They tend to be quite heavy in my experience.
