maybe I just need to design my own custom bags.

Bags for the man that doesn't want anyone to think or know he's carrying a bag.


Maybe netbooks will take off and there will be alot more cases for them.

for now, I've been thinking about sewing a pocket into my coat and carring it that way. for summer, idk.

all the bags I like cost nearly 1/6th the cost of a new gun lol.

If you need this inventory for work to earn a crust, then I understand. Your employer should provide a receptacle to carry all the necessary gear you must have with you. Unless, you're in business for yourself. If so, look at Koenig, they build great gear carry boxes for pickups. From the description of all the stuff you take with you, you need this.

If all this stuff is simply extraneous gear you simply can't live without everywhere you go, (that's why women need purses) then you may want to reconsider your priorities.

Real men don't carry "man bags" or ever utter such a term.

Or put "highlights" in their hair or allow themselves to become some sort of feminized version of P.C. accepted man.

Face it, the so called male equivalent to a purse is still a purse by any other name.

haha I do freelance computer repair and go to college. So basically I can make some money anywhere and am not always in the same vehicle because I carpool to college. The only thing I 100% carry with me everywhere I go is my netbook.

I feel the same way you do about man bags and highlighted hair but I have got to find some way to get better organized.

I'm actually thinking about sewing a pocket into my jacket for it.

True, but they get heavy after a while lol.

Their products are very well made and can withstand a lot of abuse.

Nice!

yea, but a lot of laptop cases are just to big for daily carry. I can't find anything in a netbook size that isn't really girlie.

Hi yall,

I've got a bit of a problem. Daily I have to carry so much gear that I'm losing my mind. I have been trying to find a "manly" bag that I can carry my gear in that doesn't look like a purse lol.

Daily I carry:
[*]HP Mini 1000, 10" netbook (with cables)
[*]iPhone
[*]Screw driver (2)
[*]Pen and Pad
[*]small length of cat5 with crossover adapter (god knows every time I leave home without it I end up needing it)
[*]a jump drive or two
[*]My portable HD
[*]Misc. Cables
[*]Misc. Gadgets

I also carry my CCW whenever possible but it doesn't need to be in the bag.

I'm seriously bulging in the pockets here lol. Do any of yall have any suggestions. I would like an open top because messenger flaps usually bother me. It needs to have a shoulder strap.

It would also be awesome for yall to post pictures of yalls manly bags.


Maybe gear bags a better word, I need a gear bag lol.
