Wherefore art thou....help! gotta prob...

20 odd years later, still nowt.

Art’s problem was addressed when he went on to post about it on General, First Mate.

First Mate you must have been bored scrolling through old posts from 12 years ago on handbags of all the threads

Thanks jo anne

Peterp I was using the search box for something else, this popped up. Does that answer your question. It's interesting what you can come across using the search box, you should try it some time

I do

looks to me another case of sh1t stirrers looking for muck to throw, Is it any wonder he is on my ignore list ??? sad barsteward

I like handbags.
But I don’t carry them about.
I prefer my bumbag if that’s what they’re called

Got the military version of one of those: belter, it's a 'MOLLE', so all sorts of attachments can be added to it.

I have enough attachments thanks very much!

The NATO description of the kit is "MOLLE and PALS".

MOLLE being Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment.
and
PALS being Pouch Attachment Ladder System.

I really like it.

If not overnighting, I can get what I need for a full day's hike into it. It is much better than having a back pack interfere with balance when jumping a stream, scrabbling up wet rocks and suchlike. In really hot weather, it is much more pleasant than is bearing a rucksack/Bergen.

Bumbag: they call them 'Fanny Packs', Stateside.
