daz2202 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 My big rucksack bag broke today, only 6 months old. got it from uk shootwarehouse about £20. Still it does get some abuse so cannot complain. It generally carries magnet, battery hide and poles, gun, flask, carts and decoys. And you lot know how heavy that is. As my bag broke it cost me three trips from the hide to my car. about 1/2 mile accross very wet muddy fields. I was ****** when i packed up and thought a small heart attack wasn't far off. So, do i buy another and carry on lugging it about, take the wheelbarrow out of the shed, or buy one of those fold up fishing wheel barrows? What do you guys use?

Spaniel Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I got mine down the ex army shop, holds loads of gear, alot easier then walking backwards and forwards across the field cant remember the price but it was not much over a Tenner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I use a 90 litre rucksack takes 100 cartridges, 12 shell dec's, 3 nets , pigeon bag, clips, pegs, battery and other odds and bods, and drink n food, and a fishing quiver for poles, magnet, floater and gun, 2 lumps. only extra i might carry this time of year are some extra decoys strung together . Barrow works ok on flatish dry reasonably firm ground , but sticky ground and ruts more of a pain pushing n pulling it than carrying the gear so i've found out.

activeviii Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 ex German rucksack from a army surplus store is the best i have found so fa. not been as it long but i have a ******** back so i have tried all sorts. the ones from the site sponsor are great but to piggin heavy as you tend to take the kitchen sink with you. carp porter, fishing barrow, are great when your on grass, gravel or dry ground but as soon as you get to any sort of mud then your swearing as the mud just clogs the wheels up and then your push pulling and swearing. travel lighter with the German one is the best for me.

Highlander Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sounds like you overloaded it And walking 1/2 mile with all that gear Try a) lightening the load, shell decoys, no rotary/batteries etc etc or drive to your spot OR c) get down the gym and get fit!

daz2202 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 OR c) get down the gym and get fit! Get fit! no chance. My 3 sports are shooting, darts (drinking) and rallycross. Must admit tho sometimes when i walk to the top of the hill i like to shoot, with all me pelt i have to have a ten minute break before i set up ! Unfortunatly driving to the spot is not an option as only a tractor would make it at this time of year. maybe i will have to look at what i do and dont need.
