I'm well aware there's probably a thread on here about gun cases but I'm not actually talking about that. Im also not on about in field rucksacks, bum bags, day sacks etc etc. what I wanna know is what rucksacks and holdalls are you guys using to carry your gear to the skirmish

When I first started out I just had a small rucksack and believe it or not I carried my gun in a trouser leg till I got a £15 gun case lol

Now I'm looking to drop the gun case as I can fold my scar h and put it in a large holdall. I have two desert eagles to go in and a revolver as well so I don't need a long gun case anymore

So far I like the look of this oakley holdall but before I part with doe I'm willing to see what other bags you guys knows work well for what we need to carry

Also what larger items are you carrying? Eg chest rig, change of clothes, etc etc

 
Like the look of this also from 5.11

I usually have a private purchase USMC holdall from San Diego which is 100 odd litres and a SA M83 Bergan as well.. and sometimes a small day sack for value bits or bits likely to get broken.

I normally take a couple a rigs with me and bits to fill them out

 
issued bergen, pretty big but not that hard to carry.

EDIT: also had some good small compartments, quite watertight with a hoody kind of thing, and quite nice padded straps.

Mines all in my old cricket bag two sets of gun boxes/bags and another inside the bag with my clothes gear etc

 
I use a gorilla box, my dad used it for stuff in Afghanistan and it's still holding up well. Not too bad for ~£50

 
Pattern 37 webbing. The Large pack with just fit a Sten with the stock removed. It's easier to wear webbing than to carry it :)

 
I'm of the same thinking as Russel; I'm going be getting a Medium Alice pack to compliment my ALICE webbing. With a few mods I'll be able to comfortably carry a weekenders worth of gear.

 
I use a 45L backpack and a swiss arms soft gun carry case. The backpack is just about big enough for all the kit I take.

 
One of These http://i.imgur.com/8fLoW5o.jpg in Tan and in much,much rougher shape.like sh*t you'd see in STALKER games. I have an older model with some minor differences. Quality is fantastic,stitching is great and the straps are insanely comfortable. I can hold all I need for a weekender in this,Tent and sleeping bag clipped onto the sides. Guns I have in a separate gun bag but I can even bodge that onto this rucksack. Russian made but not the quality of their sometimes atrocious military gear,I assure you.

I don't know anywhere to get them outside of Eastern Europe I'm afraid :P

I just have a bog standard subtle hold all from argos, it fits my gun and all my kit for a days skirmish and wouldn't look out of place on a train or in public. In 2014 openly carrying anything obviously military is going to attract the wrong type of attention.

I witnessed someone getting off the train at Stockport the other day, wearing DPM trousers, a full webbing kit and carrying a curved rifle slip. Nothing subtle about him at all, very dodgy looking to members of the public, and it only takes one phone call to be met with the wrong end of a police g36. I suspect he was an airsofter as there is a site 5 min down the road.

Oakley bags have a good rep for build quality, but have a massive mark up which puts me off.

 
I have a cheapo Swiss Arms full length nylon gun bag which I carry BBs, mags, radios etc in. I also have a 20L Multicam Marauder backpack which I fill with food, water, safety equipment, recon fleeced hoodie if it gets cold, gas (I don't put the cans in my gun bag in case they get damaged by shifting rifles).

Depending on which rig I'm using I'll either chuck it in my day sack or carry it.
