steve_b_wales Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Get the one that UKshootwarehouse are selling. It's excellent, and will hold a lot of stuff. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny7 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Be a bit carefull with those big bags, I have one and the straps are too high on the bag resulting in most of the weight being low down. Speaking from experience this kills your back when walking further than a 100 yards. Dont get me wrong its great for decoys and nets but add poles, magnet, battery etc and it becomes a real pain. Unless you have a gopher to carry it for you of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Have a look about for one of these http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk/army-stores/Special-Ops-Back-Pack-Black-Holdall.html Had mine for about 8 years now, still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripey999 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Have a look about for one of these http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk/army-stores/Special-Ops-Back-Pack-Black-Holdall.html Had mine for about 8 years now, still going strong I have one of those that Chris has plus an army bergen :yp: . Both have padded shoulder straps which are vital when carrying heavy loads. I prefer the bergen though because I can get all my gear in and strap the magnet/poles/shotgun to the sides keeping my hands free. It also has a padded waist strap which keeps it from sliding around on a long hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has a padded waist strap which keeps it from sliding around on a long hike. You can fit allot of gear in the black one too I have in mine, rotary + car battery, flapper + battery, 10 shell decoys, 5 full bodied decoys, all the spring sticks for the decoys, 200 cartridges, 10 dead bird cradles. Hide nets in the bucket seat with my food and drink. Hide poles and bouncers in my pole bag. Strap my gun and pole bag to the big black holdall, black bag on my back and bucket seat in my hand Edited February 19, 2011 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits a spin top bucket seat in the bottom as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy518 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 The trouble with getting a big kit bag will be that you will be tempted to fill it with kit. Not fun when you then have to carry it all to your hide. Then...if you have a really good day the weight of 100 dead pigeons will double what you have to carry. I have tried carrying all my kit, laden down like a Nepalese sherpa, I have also tried using a garden trolley/ barrow type of thing to save my back..I have now found the perfect solution. I have a big Army kit bag with whirly flapper/ batteries/ net bags/ hide pole bags/ nets etc...it all gets bungee corded onto the Quad and I drive to my chosen spot. What a lazy *** eh?

MattSoanes Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I have the one in your link, its fine and does the job, surprisingly good quality for the money. Plenty of room for loads of gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I always use a 95 litre rucksack, holds 12 shells plus nets, flask, sarnies, small seat and near all the rest of my kit cept gun and poles , theese i carry in a fishing quiver including magnet. just gives me 2 bulk items to carry, weighty but less fuss than multi bags and straps drapped around yourself when walking.

MikeRobb Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Make sure you get one with metal rings on the straps, i got one with plastic and broke 3 in 2 outings, have replaced them all but it's a pain to walk back to your motor draggin your gear.

richg Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi All, Iv'e just seen one at Decoy Direct, it has to be the best ever, well designed, very well made, you will never need to buy another. You can see one on his stand at the shooting show. Rich g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 My Army Bergen does a great job takes nearly everything, strong and comfortable Plus it's camoflagued so it's easier to loose, I mean the pigeon can't see it.

FalconFN Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I like to travel light so I have a cheap and cheerful green canvas army haversack about 30cm x 30cm x 15cm which carries 10' x 5' camo net, 12 fud decoys and a folding multimat seat pad plus a few useful bits and pieces. I only take hide poles if there is no natural cover for the net to attach to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I use (depending on what I am doing) a Czeck seasack, the seasack is robust to say the least, the straps wont break on that! it carries my nets x 3, hidepoles 25 sillies, 20 half shells, batteries x 2,rotary ( lightweight one from shootwarehouse ) flapper for the first bird, and ground spikes for floaters,plus my bait and a flask if I have one,plus two hypa's pinned to the outside of the bag that goes on my back, and my gun and cart bag go on my shoulders, and my floater poles with hawkeyes floater deeks are light enough to be carried in hand, so all my gear gets to my set up point in one go the sea sack cost me £8 I will have a look about to see what they are going for now? (£12.99) so they have gone up a bit but still far better and cheaper than any purpose built "large decoy bag" cheers KW Edited March 4, 2011 by kdubya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
