Testosterone or lack of may challenge many of us. Wait until this one hits the hunting scene if it hasn't already.

Good one Charlie!    :laughing:    :laughing:    :laughing:  

These Molle 2 Sustainment Pouches are as close as I get to a 'Murse'. I attach a shoulder strap and it makes for a very handy bag for short hunts, or running around on my motorcycle. It holds an amazing amount of stuff, is very sturdy, and cheap anough to keep several around for different tasks.

They also come in my favorite color, camo!

Anyone have pics of the inside of the asbell one. My wife said "are you really going to buy a purse?". Now I want one more than ever. The red one even matches my arrows. Is color coordinating going to far?

Well, for what it's worth, back in the sixties is was pretty common for the well equipted bowhunter to carry some sort of carry bag/haversack and a little canvas seated stool for hasty stands.

Those of us who are secure in our manhood don't worry about perceptions of others...we know who we are and what we got and what we can do.   :p      :thumbsup:  Love my haversacks.

My wife snickers behind my back everytime I walk out of the house with mine strapped around my shoulder! My two sons walk behind me at three paces while we're out hunting! I DON'T CARE! It works perfectly for me and stays out of my way as I shoot. I modified mine by putting a string on it that works like a belt so it doesn't swing around me when I bend over or duck under something. Let them have their fun!

well here is one that is pretty special to me. Ron W made it for me from a pair of my grandfathers old wool pants. Grampa passed away years ago but he is still with me on every hunt when i wear this special bag. Ron even incorperated the back pocket, button and all as a inside pocket to the bag!

I ain't gonna lie! I love my man purse! Don't go to the woods with out it.

 Actually I thought a good haversack was the norm here. Guess some of these fellers have issues with carrying a satchel LOL

Ric,
You carry a "manbag" in the woods?  And you're revealing that here?  And you are "proud" of that?

Dude, I have a wallet.  And a Leatherman tool.  And my cash (not much of that, really).  And my pocket knife.  And my sunglasses (and case).  And my debit card.  Blah, blah, blah, blah.

I carry it all in a manbag.  Every day.  To work.  To the grocery store.  To the bar.  EVERYWHERE.

It's an REI bag.  I've thought many times of attaching a quiver to it for the woods.  

Manbags RULE.

What would be interesting would be to hear some of the pros and cons of these bags.  Obviously, ease of access would be a pro. Lack of storage space would be a con. Certainly not packing out much of a game animal in one. Carrying much heavy stuff seems like a balance problem. I've seen pics of one with a quiver attached. I would be interested in how well that works. I use a side quiver sometimes, and I am skeptical that it would work as well. I wouldn't mind using one if it works well, but I'm not gonna jump on the bandwagon just to look more trad. They used a lot of stuff in the frontier days that have been improved upon.
