1. An apparatus for carrying items, comprising: a main body having a front panel, a rear panel, and opposing side panels, the main body defining a main compartment that may be accessed by a sealing mechanism;a shoulder strap coupled to at least an upper portion of the rear panel and coupled to at least a lower portion of the rear panel, the lower portion distal the upper portion; anda secondary support strap coupled to the shoulder strap and to at least the upper portion of the rear panel, the secondary support strap coupled to the upper portion of the rear panel at a position laterally spaced apart from the shoulder strap. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the shoulder strap is tapered proximate the upper portion of the rear panel. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the shoulder strap and the secondary support strap define a “Y” shape as viewed from a back side of the apparatus. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein a first end portion of the secondary support strap is sewn to the shoulder strap and a second end portion is sewn to the rear panel. 5. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the rear panel of the apparatus is for abutting the back of a user when the apparatus is in use. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a first end portion of the secondary support strap is sewn to the shoulder strap and a second end portion is sewn to the rear panel. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus includes at least one compression mechanism. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the at least one compression mechanism comprises: a first strap coupled to the main body and terminating in a first buckle element; anda second strap coupled to the main body and terminating in a second buckle element that may be selectively operatively associated with the first buckle element. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the upper portion is a portion for abutting a user's shoulders when the apparatus is in use, and the lower portion is a portion for abutting a user's lower back when the apparatus is in use. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the secondary support strap is adjustable. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the secondary support strap comprises a first portion and a second portion, and the secondary support strap is configured to be adjusted by sliding the first portion of the secondary support strap through a slider mechanism. 12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein a configuration of the shoulder strap changes when the shoulder strap is adjusted. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the secondary support strap is coupled to a sheath of the shoulder strap. 14. A method for constructing a backpack, comprising: coupling a shoulder strap to at least an upper portion of a rear panel of a main body of a backpack and to at least a lower portion of the rear panel, the main body having a front side with a main compartment, the upper portion distal the lower portion, the shoulder strap including a tapered portion proximate an area of the shoulder strap where the shoulder strap is coupled to the main body;coupling a secondary support strap proximate the tapered portion of the shoulder strap, the secondary support strap extending laterally from the shoulder strap; andcoupling the secondary support strap to at least the upper portion of the rear panel at a position laterally spaced apart from the shoulder strap. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the secondary support strap is coupled to the shoulder strap by sewing the secondary support strap to the shoulder strap. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the secondary support strap is coupled to at least the upper portion of the rear panel of the main body of the backpack by sewing together the upper portion, the secondary support strap, and the rear panel. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the shoulder strap is partially covered by a sheath proximate the area of the shoulder strap where the shoulder strap is coupled to the main body. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the shoulder strap comprises an outer shell and a cushioning material. 19. The method of claim 14, wherein the shoulder strap is a first shoulder strap, the tapered portion is a first tapered portion, and the secondary support strap is a first secondary support strap, further comprising: coupling a second shoulder strap to at least the upper portion of the rear panel of the backpack and to at least the lower portion of the rear panel, the second shoulder strap including a second tapered portion;coupling a second secondary support strap proximate the second tapered portion of the second shoulder strap, the second secondary support strap extending laterally from the second shoulder strap; andcoupling the second secondary support strap to at least the upper portion of the rear panel of the backpack at a position laterally spaced from the shoulder strap. 20. The method of claim 14, wherein the secondary support strap is coupled to the main body of the backpack proximate an area where the shoulder strap is coupled to the main body. 21. The method of claim 14, wherein the secondary support strap distributes at least a portion of the weight of the apparatus in a lateral direction with respect to the shoulder strap. 22. The method of claim 14, wherein the secondary support strap increases the surface area of weight distribution in a direction lateral to the shoulder strap. 23. The method of claim 14, wherein the secondary support strap distributes the weight of the apparatus to at least the shoulder strap and the secondary support strap. 24. A backpack, comprising: a main body having a front panel, a rear panel, and opposing side panels, wherein the main body defines a main compartment configured to carry an object, the object having a weight;a shoulder strap coupled to at least an upper portion of the rear panel and also coupled to at least a lower portion of the rear panel, the upper and lower portions separated distally along the rear panel of the main body, the shoulder strap configured to bear a first portion of the weight of the object when the backpack is in use; anda secondary support strap coupled to at least the rear panel of the main body proximate the upper portion and at a position laterally spaced apart from the shoulder strap, the secondary support strap further coupled to the shoulder strap and extending therefrom, the secondary support strap configured to transfer a second portion of the weight of the object to the shoulder strap when the backpack is in use, so that the shoulder strap bears both the first and the second portions of the weight of the object. 25. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the secondary support strap distributes at least a portion of the weight of the apparatus in a lateral direction with respect to the shoulder strap. 26. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the secondary support strap increases the surface area of weight distribution in a direction lateral to the shoulder strap. 27. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the secondary support strap distributes the weight of the apparatus to at least the shoulder strap and the secondary support strap.
