Kit Bags

[Joe90]

What bags do people have and recomend for long trips?

My transport 45 is pretty trashed after very little use. There is a hole in the Base and one shoulder strap has nearly torn in half on the webbing.

Are beast still doing anything?

I love the landjoff ones. The normal duty are the same thickness as the Bernies and CS ones I have. The heavy duty ones are a bit OTT unless you want to drag them everywhere.

Dunno if you can get them there but i love Gonzo Guano Gear's bags. Really cheap and badass strong and watertight unless you get them with the gromit in the bottom.

Warmbac manufacture a wide range of excellent hard-wearing bags, serving an array of purposes from small personal kit bags up to immense 200l back-pack-type ones which can carry your caving kit plus 150m+ rope.

Warmbac bags are available from good retailers - if they haven't got what you want, ask them to order it. Way more sturdy than the Petzl bags, or the no-brand types which I've used in the past.

My Beast 'Uncle' bag is slowly disintegrating after several years of utter hammering - I'm very pleased with the way it's resisted my attempts to destroy it, but I am going to win eventually. The 'fatter' dimensions are perfect for holding 2 Peli 1300s plus a small tripod, but most of the bags I've seen lately are too narrow for the length. If anyone can suggest an alternative, I'd be grateful, as I'm sure the Warmbac ones won't do it.

Warmbac can tailor-make stuff, so I'm sure they can do it.

I have used Warmbac tackle bags for years, including hauling stuff to digging sites and have always been really pleased with them.

Pwhole, Warmbac do a twin 7s bag made for divers that's exceptionally tough. I think that may fit your needs. Let me know if you want measurements.

If you're really hammering them, no commercially available tackle bag will last very long.

Get an eyelet kit and some wide diameter lay-flat fire hose and knock up your own.

I've used my regular Landjoff for about 200 trips, and it's just about ready to retire.

I also recommend their large bags which are useful for carrying a rope bag and a full set of caving gear. The belt strap is an optional extra, but you can transfer it to other bags.

It's dragging it up vein walls and shafts with rigid containers inside that's doing it, but the Pelis have already demonstrated their worthiness, so I'm inclined to let the bag go first. I suspect an industrial sewing machine would also be a minimum requirement! I think Tony Seddon has regular chats with Warmbac, so I'll see if can get an 'Uncle' equivalent sorted out.

Used to work in the industry, supplying PVC covered material to Phil Brown -- first TSG tackle bags were sewn on a Singer Treadle Machine--(Eyelet tackle required)

Hmm...my mum still has one of those. In the wooden cabinet and everything. Apparently it's set aside for me in her will... :-[
