The Man Bag

[RBB]

I guess I don't get out much. Wing and I took a plane ride to Las Vegas in June to see the kids. I'd never been on a big plane before. Can't say I enjoyed it too much.

I noticed a lot of guys were carrying purses. I thought this was a bit odd and mentioned it to Wing. She said it was all the thing nowdays and you didn't have to be a swish to have one.

I thought about it a bit and decided it wouldn't be too bad - especially if you were taking plane rides or other types of public transport. I thought a shell bag might work well, plus I wouldn't feel so odd. I looked at all my old shell bags, one Filson and two Duluth Pack. Meant for carrying shells, they were all too small.

One day while we were in town, I went to the Duluth Pack Store and found this:

http://duluthpack.com/product_detail.aspx?product=Double%20Shell%20Bags

It has two pockets in front, and a large pocket behind. I sewed up some small pockets on a piece of canvas and sewed that to the wall of the large pocket in the bag. It holds my cell phone, small camera, small flashlight, compass, waxed matches, folding knife, note book, pencils, and two pair of reading glasses. One of the front pockets holds my pistol and cuffs, the other is a good size for misc items and the back (large) pocket holds a thermos and a book nicely.

Cant go wrong a Duluth pak is standard for the BWCA tough as nails

[Fletcher]

Just say NO to the purse get a day pack!

[DOGMAN]

I have a Duluth Pack messenger type bag. It is awesome- holds laptop, uzi, cell phone, ninja throwing stars, jumper cables, the Bible, and anything else I wanna cram in there. I like the waxed cotton and leather trim...it should last a long time

[trax]

I like the notion of being able to carry the uzi and the Bible in the same bag JM, if you can't wipe them out....quickly convert them :D

.....or ifn you run out of bullets, you have something to fall back on.

I use my Versapack just about every day and love it. If you decide to get one remember the standard is for right hand carry, whle the S type is for left hand carry.

I have a M.O.L.L.E. Assault pack that I carry everywhere. Has hydration system, concealed carry options and enough pockets to carry a LOT of gear. I also have the Gerber LMF II A.S.E.K knife on the side. I love this pack and have not had any problems with zippers or anything like that. Check one out you might like it.

Thanks, and yeah they are kinda expensive. I was issued mine along with a lot of other MOLLE gear. The pack was the only thing they let me keep when I got out.

[Rick]

I'm not for sale Chiye Tanka. You'll have to look for something else.

[chiye tanka]

Come on Rick, you know you've got a price.

[Rick]

Okay, but I'm awfully expensive. A buck 2.98 is the opening bid.

[crashdive123]

Sold!!!!!! to the man from Florida with a badge and a gun!

[nell67]

[crashdive123]

Yeah, but now he has to house break him.

[nell67]

Yea well first off,he better take him to the vet to get him checked out,and chipped,you know in case he runs away or gets lost:D

[crashdive123]

While at the vet, better get him neutered too.......just to prevent problems down the road.

[nell67]

Absolutely,good thinking crash.

[chiye tanka]

[nell67]

Quick,look in the mirror,do you see "SUCKER" written across your forehead??? Crash ended the bidding right after your bid!!!!!!!!:p:p:D

I do have a "man bag" but I carry just about all I need in my pockets. 45, SAK, SOG Flash II, led light, wallet, keys, cell phone & walking stick to get to my truck which is better stocked(tough neighborhood). Looks like a lot of trouble trying to carry one thru the woods, fanny pack would be better, either would get me kicked out of the "Good Ole Boy's Club. If it works for you use it, but you can lose that thing faster than I can lose my pants with my stuff in my pockets. My opinion, but not humble.

[Sourdough]

I got a "Man'Bag" the day I was born. I take it everywhere.........:p

[wareagle69]

You people can call it what ever they want. I only use my "Man'Bag" to carry the "Family Jewels". Mine is adjustable, get smaller in ice cold water, and larger in warm water. And like I say I was born with it. Free you could say...:rolleyes:

[ATough]
