I currently am the proud owner of an old Army Surplus sack. It's been the home of my big @$$ tent for the past 15 years. I have another one I carry my long guns in sometimes. I don't know what they're made out of but it seems water resistant, olive drab, and it's as tough as hell. I call it a sack but it's really more like a huge duffel bag.
I was thinking about getting another such "sack" in a camo pattern but can't find one in the local surplus stoe and I don't know if anyone makes one that's big enough. To give you an idea of the kind of size I'm looking for, the one I currently have can hold 5 rifles in their cases with room to pack ammo, magazines, etc.
They're really handy to have because you can put a ton of gear in one. It's too big to carry around daily but you can take out what you need and hide the rest somewhere (like up a tree or even bury it but not too deep
). Not to mention the bag itself can make for a fine improvised shelter.
Heck you can even put up with it on the trail if you're able to bear the weight for the sake of tons of extra stuff.
Anyone seen anything like this?
