captainhastings Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Any one recommend a bag for carrying few carts in batteries and few bit etc.Needs to be water proof as I often sit it down in the water or rather I sit on the reeds and don't notice the water rise and soak every thing.

Centrepin Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I use these, good big size, not waterproof but they have a good lining and take a real soaking before the insides get wet. Molle attachments so they fit on a belt or in my case on a sewn in strap inside my jackets. Cheap too. I have 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I have a pvc game bag, sherwood forest i think, i also use a gardening knee pad inside of it. these keep most of the dampness out but tend to flap about in a wind when your wearing it, unless it has a goose in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberisle Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Get yourself a bucket seat you can sit on it and it keeps all you gear dry https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nitehawk-Spinning-Swivel-Hunting-Shooting-Camo-Bucket-Seat-With-Storage-Pockets/362323370236?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160323102634%26meid%3D31f89c1287314f7bb8303ce6b766eca0%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D202054410973%26itm%3D362323370236%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) My pigeon watch game bag has been my Wildfowling bag for years. Takes everything I need cart gloves torches etc bar decoys. Can get a few ducks in the net on front too Another good bag are the pamphlet delivery bags, just like paperboys bags but smaller in different colours.

captainhastings Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Cheers folks plenty of ideas. I have a few postman bags and even though they look water proof you sit them in an inch or two and it soon seeps in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 When I’m tide flighting I keep my shells in the top pocket of my waders or on an inside pocket. If I think I need more, I’ll use one of the roll top waterproof bags inside my rucksack. I also have a new camo Ogio waterproof rucksack for sale if you’re interested?

I use a roe sack if I am goose shooting or have a long walk. You can buy dry bags like the kayakers use which will keep kit dry if you need and will go inside any bag. They come in all sizes, below is the first one that came up on google but there are loads. https://www.cadetkitshop.com/products/web-tex-ultra-light-dry-sack-20ltr Edited December 15, 2019 by ClemFandango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally waterproof. They look good and cheap too but i can't see how secure the top is from point of view if it lashing down. Got to be honest the jack pike bucket mentioned above looks good. At the end of the day its a plastic tub with a lid so can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhastings Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I did email them Thanks for your enquiry regarding our Game Bag. We do not guarantee that our Game Bag is 100% waterproof due to the seams being stitched. A fully waterproof bag would have welded seams. If the bag was sitting in water then there would eventually be an ingress of water through the seams. The PVC of the bag is 100% waterproof and will withstand heavy downpours of rain. We hope this answers your question. Kind regards So I opted for the bucket seat which will handy for a few reasons. Thanks for the suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Tent seam sealer takes care of the stitched seams. I use a bucket spin seat, only as a seat don't carry anything in it. My gamebags for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
