How does this compare in size to the small duffle?sportsman works well
One can fit a ton of stuff in a 24 hr bag (well maybe not 2000 lbs) but a LOT of stuff. It would easily hold jumper cables/first aid kit/some tools/flares/zip ties/tape (stuff I carry in my car)Ah! A 24hr could work, and I have a tan one that isn’t in use I was considering selling. This would be a great since its thinner than the small duffle. It may even fit under the seat. Can you really fit a lot in one?
I have a brown small duffle also that I need a use for but it’s probably just going to be a family ‘use where needed’ bag.
Very helpful! That actually did cross my mind on using it for fishing. Currently using a plastic compartment box that does the trick so we'll see.. It would actually make the perfect mountain/road bike bag now that I think of it lol. I haven't been back on a mountain back for years but this might be a good excuse to start up again.. Thanks for the input~!I have two of them, use one as the dog walking bag, to carry water for me and dog/ bags to pick up poop from neighbors yards, some dog treats and clicker, stuff like that. The other is my "fishing" bag, small plastic containers with some lures/leaders/hooks, it has room for a couple of tools, like pliers and knife. The smaller size and oval opening limit the size of things that can be carried, but they suit my purpose(s)

Ha exactly. Actually saw that picture when I googled the idea!
I have packed the 24 with a few items, and I think it’s going to be the key. Thanks for the lead on this one. Also, it’s nice to use a bag I already haveOne can fit a ton of stuff in a 24 hr bag (well maybe not 2000 lbs) but a LOT of stuff.

I use one of my 24hr bags as a "pool bag" to go to my son's house (pool in back yard) can put all the drinks I want to take, towel, Huggies, cigars, flip-flops, towel, plus anything else I need. It's a great bag. I have another one that is my go to work "briefcase", but I'm not going to work at the moment, so it sits there, just waiting.....I have packed the 24 with a few items, and I think it’s going to be the key.

Nice comparison and input. Can definitely tell the difference between the sets of leather used for the straps vs handles. As the bag ages over the years, you'll be able to see more subtle differences between all pieces of leather that was used to construct the bag that aren't showing now.I thought I would try to do my part as a new member here and post some pictures. I recently bought a 256 Original Briefcase from one of the discount sellers on eBay.
I own several pieces of Filson clothing, but this is my first bag. Having read through a good section of this thread I know there is an ongoing discussion about the quality of the leather over the years.
I am quite happy with the leather on this particular bag. It was not dry or stiff feeling when I got it although I did apply some Obenauf's LP.
The backside of the shoulder strap is smoother than the hand strap and creases/wrinkles less when bent the opposite way. In the pictures below the hand strap is on the left and the shoulder strap is on the right.
I would love to hear your thoughts/comments.
Best,

Welcome! Thanks for the photos, looks like good leather and the conditioning will keep it supple.I thought I would try to do my part as a new member here and post some pictures. I recently bought a 256 Original Briefcase from one of the discount sellers on eBay.

Although the thread title says “bags” we pretty much veered off just bags a long time ago, as perhaps you’ve seen. So feel free to share your clothing too. And at the risk of causing trouble, what’s next on your list...?!
Have a tri fold wallet my wife got me about 4 years ago and just got a a tan belt. Love both itemsI’m glad you asked. Today I received a Filson field watch that was on sale and one of their bandanas. I'll post pictures in the next day or two.
I am also considering a belt and maybe a wallet.
over the winter, I used my Sportsman for gloves, hats, etc in the back of the Jeep. Now that summer is here, I don’t use anything for that purpose. Just a few baseball hats in the storage compartment for when the top is off.This is good to know, thank you for this. I just bought a truck and am thinking of which bag will best suit my needs of cables, straps, etc etc.
anyone using anything other than a med field bag? I was thinking of just using a small duffle but wouldn’t mind something that would fit under the rear seat, although that’s a richer fit (2020 GMC Canyon)
