Wow- great bag

Packing for a quick trip to CO (which will include a few laps at
A-Basin tomorrow), I realized that the North Face convertible
backpack/suitcase I was packing has been with me on every single ski
trip, about half of my hikes or camping trips, and every road or rail
trip I've been on since 1986. Wow. Lotta miles on that bag... and
it's still in great shape. Good piece of gear.

I'm with you, dude. I have a Land's End bag that I take with me.
Carry on, of course. My boots fit in them.

I have a custom made bag for my skis and poles, and I have a custom
made bag for my golf clubs, if I take them. I use ty-raps to seal my
bags so I know that the airport personnel won't open them.

Here's a good tip. If your village has a sail maker, visit him. Most
make sail bags, and gym style bags which sailors use to hold their
gear. These are great for carry-on. Some even make them in kevlar.
These will last forever.

And remember to vote for Palin-Ahhhnold in 2012.

If you mean those neat nylon ratcheting things, they ARE re-usable. If you
mean the little pieces of paper- or plastic-wrapped wire, never mind.

Always think about back up. That's leadership. Put a little paint or
glue on the ty-rap. You'll know if the luggage was tampered with.

Have a nice day, and remember to vote for Palin-Ahnold in 2012.

I've got a North Face jacket that I really like. It's hard to snap the snaps
with gloves on, but not so difficult that I'm willing to sew on velcro thingies.

Gear bags are dirt cheap at yard sales and I'm a collector, so I'm unlikely to
ever wear one out -- Well, maybe the one I use to store the other bags in.
What I DO love, however, are the Ameribag 'Healthy Back' handbags. Not cheap
(except at yard sales, of course), but they come in different sizes, are
indestructable, and have lots of inner and outer pockets.

Ameribag. The ones made in Malaya or Taiwan exhibit better workmanship than the
ones made in China.

And resist gunshots too. Never can tell when that might be useful.

Yeah about that:

I hate it when dumbass people post links and don't say what they're
about, dumbass. That's not leadership, dumbass.


But anything you do, like the ty-raps, is likely to make them simply
move on to an unlocked back... like mine

Dave

Put a little glue, or paint on the ty-raps. They'll just move to the
next bag, dumbass.

And treat people with respect, dumbass.


And remember to vote for Palin-Ahhhnold in 2012, dumbass.

People who fly with non-carry-on baggage are NOT leaders; real leaders have
minions to deal with checked baggage.

I finally found a medium-size soft carry-on bag with wheels at a yard sale for
$2. I could probably have got it for $1, but you can't guess right every time.
Minions are more trouble than they're worth unless you can kill them when
they've outlived their usefulness, and that just doesn't seem right.

That was thoughtless of me, I understand your frustration and I
apologize.

I'm not clear on how that would work.

Naturally.

Respectfully, we may have to agree to disagree on that one.

Good point. I appreciate your kind comments, but skis, and golf clubs
just cannot go in the overhead compartments.

Be the best, and tell others to be the best. That's leadership.

That's what Ronald Reagan would have wanted.

It's pretty simple. Some airplane glue or Elmer's glue in the zipper
part would make it hard to open the bag. A little bit of paint on the
ty-raps would make it easy to see if the baggage was tampered with.
