    Replaced military bags

    I replaced military bags with a more natural carry option. These bags blend in much better than a camouflage or other aggressive option. I am going for the “grey man look” and they achieved that in spades. The bags I purchased were the Little Marais Messenger Bag and the Archaeologist Satchel. The Marasis is my EDC bag and the other for more extended movement. I am looking at the Isle Royale Bushcraft Pack for a truck bug out bag in the very near future.

    handy forage bag

    I will use this for foraging. The ventilation grommets should help eliminate some dirt and debris from collecting nuts. it should also be useful in collecting artifacts and rock samples.

    Hidden uses

    I purchased the archaeologist satchel because I think it will work for me to carry my plastic lure or fly fishing plano boxes. It is well made and should hold up for this purpose.
