Finally got my new gear bag finished!

Well not quite, but good enough for now..

I've always used a backpack to carry my stuff but just have too much so I got some help from my mom and created this.

Top section is an Igloo cooler, my mom made the middle section, added grommets to all 3 to connect them. Can use just the top, top/middle, or top/bottom together, and the bottom can be taken off and still used for a duffle bag. Carabiners for quick disconnecting.

We mounted a Bear Grylls Parang in between the top and middle, holders for pliers, flashlight, scissors in easy to grab places. Straps under the bottom for a small tent. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. Holds a bunch of boxes, all my soft plastics, our dry box, tools, etc, etc.

It's pretty heavy with all my tackle in it,but surprisingly carries pretty easy especially with chest and waist straps, with some improvements it will be perfect.

We were still adjusting it here because my mom is a perfectionist when it comes to sewing but you get the idea
:LOL2:

That is awesome! lol!

Cool. You know someone's going to start producing a commercial version of that and you're going to be wishing it had been you...

You're probably right, most bags are too small imo. The bottom bag needs to open on the front, my only real planning mistake.

Not sure what you plan on catching but I'm betting that "filet knife" is big enough to get the job done.
