New article - One Wading Bag to Rule Them All

Random meetings in the woods are usually brief, and satisfied with a simple nod and no slowing of the stride as you walk past each other and carry on to your respective destinations. Not this one.

I was heading down to fish a little-known and unnamed stream near a well-known and aptly named rock-climbing destination when a climber and I met on the trail. He was carrying his ropes, belt, cams and chocks in his equipment bag, and I had my wading and fishing gear in mine.

We stopped. We were carrying the same bag. That’s not such a big deal, as any decent outdoor bag can carry just about anything, but I have never seen anyone else use this particular bag outside of a shopping mall parking lot.

The IKEA Frakta Big Blue bag. It costs 99 cents.

Well done. Thank you for sharing.

I remember my grandfather visiting from Florida once a year. He would bring only one suitcase, half filled with plastic bags for us to use as our kitchen garbage bags. When my mother sold the house after my father's passing she had a garbage full of bags that she finally got rid of!

Thanks, dude.

It's weird but I have such fond memories of those plastic bags. This was back in the day when we had very little and hung onto anything and everything that could be used and a few things that couldn't.

Are you in Jersey City at my kid's baseball game?

Baader-Meinhof, dude.

Or maybe we are everywhere.
