I have been surprised at how well and how long my cheapo backpack style bag has held up. It is a Eastsport much like this one but mine is an older model. Used primarily as an airline carry on and day trip bag. All the zippers, straps, and polyester/nylon fabric has held up well when carrying whatever was needed. The unobtrusive laptop/tablet sleeve and unstructured main compartment allows flexible use of the interior space. I wanted a higher end cordura/ballistic nylon bag but this one has served my needs very well.
i just bought the hidden woodsmen haversack. small american business. read a lot of good things about malcolm's products so being former military as well i had to try one. it's on sale at his site. have to pay for shipping though. there's different colors on amazon too. more expensive but free shipping. $70 plus shipping at hidden woodsmen.
i also bought a pacsafe metrosafe ls200 recently. it's supposed to have safety features where the zippers are lockable. the strap can't be cut through easily, etc. think i bought it for <$50 at nordstroms rack but i haven't used it. seems like a "city/travel bag".

if it's for work I use a briefcase. everything else, I use my lowepro II camera bag, or my range bag if that is my destination
I don't own one, but I think these look nice. Saddleback Indiana Waxed Canvas Gear bag.

^ I like that one!
It is a great Gear Bag, a little bit out of my price range but it is a beauty.
That is a great looking bag! I have a canvas one, (another affordable brand) of the same dimensions, i find it too small to be of any use and never use it. It looks cool though.

Indiana Jones used a WW2 British gas mask bag as his purse.
Have thought about an army style haversack but wonder if it would hold enough.

Just so everyone knows, it's called a satchel, not a manpurse/murse. LOL.

Sometimes...it's kinda scary how much we think alike.

You mean someone out there gets a leather Klein tool bag? All we get are the canvas ones.
I can't seem to warm to the idea of a man purse. The closest I've come is an old game bag for hunting and an army surplus bag back when I had a working metal detector. The rest of the time, I shove stuff into my pockets or hang it on my belt.
I like bags from Chrome Industries... Really nice buckle/shoulder strap system. The Welterweight Kadet fits the bill here.
That is one cool bag. Thanks for sharing.
Me too. But my needs are shifting. Medicine, the ability to carry something larger than a snub nose revolver, etc., all the crap I cram in my wallet.... the only reason I haven't gone with a sling bag so far is the fear of losing my man card, lol. That, and my reticence of off body carry. But chicks do it, right?
Started carrying over shoulder bags much like many here in the early '70's, it's not a big deal. Be lost without one, can't stand putting more then a thin wallet, change, a couple keys and a handkerchief in my pockets and i want both hands free, gotta have a bag.
I was also an early adopter of the 'papoose' or as they were known at the time a 'snuggly', wandering the streets doing my shopping my daughter along for the adventure.
