have you tried blackdog trading i got one from them good strong bag got the silly net on the side though

Steve; I have just such a bag here, mate. Had it for a few years now. I found it on the net and got it in from US. Cheap as chips all the same. It's basicly one of their posties sacks. Lacks the flap our sort have. But It's strong as an oxes hide and certainly takes some abuse.

 

Of course, I now haven't got a bloody clue where I got it from! But I was searching on terms like " Strong Bag or " Big Bag ". I wonder what good a search along those lines or even " Postmans Pouch / Sack " might get ye?

 

They're out there.

Hi mate was going to suggest an old post delivery bag myself!

Got one for ferreting, holds 100 nets plus bits and bobs!

The others my 'game bag' great for walking up and pigeons!

If I were you I would try to locate one somehow!

Try your local postie or go to the sorting office and ask nicely.

They dont use the old canvas versions anymore so if they have one you may get lucky!

Im fairly new to all this and was wondering why people prefer to use a bag that has one long strap as opposed to a rucksack style bag ??

Ive got a decent rucksack which i use and it does the job well, real comfy aswell

Place called Manhattan Portage do some rather more up markety looking kit. Costs more, but well spoken of by professionals and they do stuff in cammo or drab green. Might not be exactly what ye have in mind, but I wouldn't mind one.

 

" Messenger Bags " seems to be the key word. But, be warned; The chinks are now well into the market, so there's going to be some right crap out there.

Try a gun shop / field sports shop that deals with David Nickerson (Tathwell) Ltd, they are the distributors of Lincoln shotguns but they also do their "own" brand of equipment. I remember they used to do some pretty big game bags, and their prices are reasonable.

Hi Ditch beat me to it! got side tracked whilst typing by "she who must be obeyed I;ll definatly have a look at thier site & don;t drink to much of that Jamerson can give you one hell of a hangover in the morning Steve

[stephen58 1]

hi LordB thank you for input i;ll search there site must learn to type faster! Steve

Steve! I've refound the very bag I have here! Like I say; This as ye'll see - is basicly a Posties mail bag, without a flap. But I own one and have owned it for over three years and use it every week. I abuse the shit out of this bag. I put such tremendous weights in it that I'm staggering along the road groaning in misery. Bag just laughs at me!

 

It's Never shown Any sign of wearing through. Not a thread of stitching has come adrift. I reckon ye could stand in this bag and be hoisted off the ground by its strap in perfect safety. And just Look at the silly price! As I remember, it worked out costing me little more than a tenner, delivered to uk!

 

I'm sure there's prettier, fancier, somehow more 'suitable' bags out there, at many times the cost. But if ye just want a BIG, Tough, rough old bag to haul more kit that ye'll ever want to carry? Here's ye kiddie!

 

I went for 'Natural' and, one of these days, I'll get round to dying it drab green

 

THE Bag!
