    If I remember correctly, the community and customers asked if the LTT backpack, with its premium price tag, could have a lifetime warranty similar to other backpack products. The response from LTT was “No,” and the reasoning behind that answer didn’t really convince people.

    I remember Linus saying something to the effect that he didn’t want to put any potential future burden on the LTT business, or his family (I believe Linus’ wife is also a stakeholder in the business) in the event he was not around.

    My hot take, I got the sense that Linus believed in the backpack as a good product, but didn’t want to lock himself into supporting it for a long time.
