    Default Looking at packs.

    So I was looking for a nice small butt pack or the like. I check out maxpedition and really liked their versipacks but the price is a tad much. Just so happens that Amazon had a nice UTG Tactical Messenger Bag similar to a Maxpedition one for $30.00

    Should serve my purpose just as well and I can buy 3 of these for the price of 1 of the others.

    I have two of those ( from Amazon) and I am probably going to get a few more; they are perfect for what I need to carry in my kit and and there are enough molle-type attachments to add a lot more. They are heavy-grade material and should hold up well.
    I think they are exactly like the versipack in design.
    BTW, I got the olive drab ones because they were cheaper than the black ones.

    I've got two from Maxpedition (Jumbo and Fatboy), but have not seen the UTG's. I like mine (I mostly just use the Jumbo anymore). There is a gentleman in your part of the world that lives on a mountain, near a creek, that keeps a few geese that bought one on my recommendatin that was less than thrilled with it. As I said, I like mine.

    It was NOT the bags fault, The problem is with the owner and his inability to co-exist with ANY single strap type bag.

    No, but it has a decent belt strap. It can be quite comfortable for several miles depending on how the weight is distributed. It holds an awful lot compared to most fanny/butt packs, and has some great cushion if you actually wanted to carry a camera or other electronics in it.
