    Ditch the strap

    The bag is great. Tougher than any reproduction out there. If you're a small and just need a purse, I guess the strap and setup would be okay. I cut the little strap off within two minutes of receiving it because it was insufficient for my use/style. Inside the canvas has raw edges, but maybe that's okay with this kind of fabric? I like that there are lots if pockets. I wish the ones on the outside/back were deeper to stash a phone, for example.

    Winter ditty bag

    Planned use for my upcoming winter snowshoe and toboggan trip. Primarily for easy access to the compass, tp, matches, spare mittens, snacks binoculars, GPS, etc.
    Easy access, just swing it around the shoulder.

    I’m not an archaeologist, but …

    Another great product from Frost River! I’m not an archaeologist, but years ago, when I was walking around Greece and Turkey and taking pictures, I had what I called a “ruin-bashing bag”—a military surplus shoulder bag with just enough room for maps, compass, guidebook, extra film, and the like. Now I need a bag for sketch pad, pencils, graphite sticks, tissues, lunch, and all the stuff that doesn’t fit in my pockets when I’m out sketching. I bought the archaeologist’s satchel to replace a skyline rolldown satchel, which was great but a little small for my purposes. I’ve now used the archaeologist satchel on one trip to New England, several visits to museums, and walking around my neighborhood. it’s a great bag—well-made, as I expect from Frost River, and just big enough. For some reason I can’t figure out, it’s more comfortable than the skyline rolldown—it sits just right on my hip, and the strap isn’t too short (I’m 6’1”). The pockets seem sensible enough, although like some other reviewers, I can’t quite figure out what to do with the row of narrow pockets on the interior.
