After an off road trip deep into a desolate part of a New England forest, where shed repairs had to be made on the fly, I realized the need for what I could only call an “Off Road Bag.” Tools had to be hauled from the truck to a remote shanty where roof repairs needed attention. Along the way, the only bag we had, a basic canvas tote, completely failed. The handles ripped off, and the bag itself was so flimsy it would not even stand open on its own while working out of it.
When I got home, I built the bag I wished we had out there. This tote is really more of a mega tool tote, designed for future missions, rough conditions, and carrying the kind of gear that usually destroys ordinary bags.
The bag features military spec polypropylene webbing, along with three exterior pockets. The center pocket has a snap closure, while the side pockets include webbing straps where carabiners or clips can be attached for extra security.
It can be used as a regular daily tote too, even though its construction is well beyond what’s needed for a trip to the library. It’s built with Cordura inside and out, with two interior pockets, one specifically zippered to keep your phone clean and dry, and another for organizing tools I’ll need on future missions.
Looking forward to the next off road adventure with this one.
