Derek did one of these threads a while back, and in the interim, I've slowly stocked my bag. And other folks have had a chance to pick one of these bags up.
I have very much enjoyed carrying it on car trips. I haven't flown with it yet, but I expect the bag will be a most welcome addition in this regard as well.
I did this quickly with a cell phone, so the pics aren't excellent, but they'll do.

Loaded up.

The right side pocket usually handles my old-man peekers. Sometimes a GPS unit or phone.

Stole this idea from Derek. Left side pocket holds a Nalgene Backpacker bottle.

The hip-side zip pocket is a good place for important papers.

Another good spot for these thinner items is the zip pocket under the pouch. Peekaboo!

The bag also has two good options for CC. One velcro pocket is accessible with the flap closed.

Another similar pocket can be found under the main flap.

Here's a filled interior view.

A bag dump (sans pistol and mag). We're looking at the following kit: water bottle, shemagh, space blanket, passport, flashlight, fire kit, first aid kit, SAK, head lamp, compass, signal mirror, radio/weather alert, BK-24, Leatherman Wingman, glasses, chapstick, pen.

The Becker Field Bag. Don't leave home without it.

Would love to see what some of the new bag owners are carrying.
 
Thanks for the photos - pretty good for cell fön pix. I suspect you're a bit of a gram weenie; any idea what the weight is loaded? I'm afraid if I had one it would end up weighing more than I could carry.

No idea. It's not terrible with all the gear shown--pretty comfortable actually. I certainly have some redundancies I could cut (SAK/Leatherman, two lights), and I'd probably prefer to carry the pistol IWB. That would cut a lot of weight in the bag.
 
I'll play. I'll edit with pictures in a while.


I need to get a shemagh. I been meaning to get one just having to find one for a decent price is hard to do.

It's been a while now...

If i dump out the wife's Becker field bag, we'd all be confused. I have no idea what half the stuff women carry is.
 
You should so do it. We could have a "What the hell is that?" game.

She treats it like EVERYTHING of hers, I'm not allowed to touch it. I think she's scared I'll knock it up too. I'll get my own one day. On the flipside, she doesn't have any Becker Patrol Packs!
 
oddly enough, my bag is setup KINDA like guyon's.

though more purple stuff than black :>
 
I thought this thread was about a field expedient latrine.

I'll post those pics in the member's only forum. The bag excels in this capacity, but the decontamination process is a real pain.

Looking at the pics, I realize I need more paracord. Maybe purple paracord.
 
Chameleonbear, if you are not opposed to using Amazon, I found my shemaghs on there. They range from $8-30 dollars. Haven't spent more than $10. I usual order a couple at a time.
 
I'm not opposed, I have Amazon Prime. Some how got it for free like 3 years ago and still have never paid for it.
