There is no bagpack, backpack, pack, whatever in this game, and we ask people to avoid creating confusion, here and on the other forum, by trying to bring non-game terms into the discussion. You have carried Items (those that are in play), and cards in your hand. The Charity rule affects cards in your hand, and any Item you have in play, whether you are using it or not (those you have turned sideways) is not in your hand.
