I received this tote as a birthday gift and was excited about my new piece of Frost River kit, but admittedly a little skeptical if I would use it. Personally, I take a FR Field Satchel with me everywhere I go and adding another piece of gear was something I was hesitant about. Well friends, my concerns were unfounded and I can say that I am officially a card carrying Tote Guy. Turns out this massive tote folds down easily and slips into my Field Satchel front sleeve pocket without adding much bulk or weight. This tote is a welcome addition to the coveted space in my Field Satchel. It’s great for a large load of groceries, sopping wet clothes from a rainy river float, or quick-to-deploy hauling apparatus for those unexpected situations when you just need an uncomplicated and trust worthy way to carry the days haul. Do yourself a favor and try one for yourself!
