My wife was thrilled with this gift. We have some land and she loves to forage. The way this bag folds up for smaller amounts but expands to hold more than double is perfect. No way she is going to wear this bag out, it is well made and will be passed on to one of our kids one day. Read more

I have had my eye on this bag for a while, trying to justify the cost of it and glad I finally needed a new bag to actually order it. I plan on using it as an everyday bag and feel like it will definitely last a long time! Pros: It’s heavy weight waxed canvas. This thing is not going to wear down/get wet easily, just remember to fold down the liner bag over your stuff if you get caught in the rain. The hardware is all completely metal and looks sturdy and will hold up. It has a lot of space and many options to wear. The liner bag is HEAVY DUTY SOLID! Nothing is going to leak from this thing or have water get in if you seal the liner bag over your stuff (so long as you doing get caught in a tsunami because it’s obviously not 100% waterproof lol)!! If it does leak from the inside, it’s probably because you went through great lengths to purposefully puncture a hole in it because it’s very thick plastic! The handles are soft and feel comfortable to wear. There is boning sewn into the opening of this bag to help keep it open when need be. The liner and the inside of the bag can be used at two different compartments. The bottom when clipped up, can serve as an extra pocket. The two pockets are perfect size for my phone and wallet (but see the con for this one as well). I love the extra D ring for clipping your keys onto and the various rings for different ways of wearing. These straps are LONG! They’re long enough to wear close to you AND in various ways which is something you don’t see in many customizable bags. Cons: Even though the handles are soft and comfortable, I see them digging in your skin with a lot of weight or long term use. I ordered strap pads to help with this just in case. I feel like the cost of this bag, it should have came with them. I know of another brand that has this nearly identical bag that does include them, but I felt like that company was a knock off of this one and I love this company’s cause and wanted to support them anyways so I went with this one even though it did cost more. One of the buttons (the front one) was not placed right, only one button width away from being in the right spot, causing the liner to pop off on that one button when it gets closed or shifted around (See photos) but if the bag is left alone, it stays put. It’s a minor issue but one I can try to look past, but considering the price, I honestly don’t think I should have to. I know many others have mentioned this as well, but I wish the bottom was able to be sealed off with a zipper or buttons as to be able to use the whole bag space if you wanted to, yet still have the ability to open it up as it is, which is a feature I do love about this, just the ability to seal it off when wanted to, would be nice as well. I wish this had at least one smaller internal pocket to store a wallet within reach but still out of sight for security reasons. Idk if many people who carry their wallet on the outside pocket of their bags, it makes you for an easy target. I plan on only using my phone in the outside pocket when I carry in messages bag mode for this reason. I get this bag isn’t made for every day use, but with that one minor tweak alone with an internal pocket, I feel like more people would use it for such as well! This bag will not stay standing up on its own. If you don’t want everything to fall out of it, that is, if you stuffed it to the brim, you’re going to want to lean it against something so it won’t. The canvas is sturdy and will shut if you push it closed, but because of the boning, it tends to want to stay open. This can be a security thing if you keep your valuables in it, making it easy access, but then again, this might be a pro for you if you want to just reach in and grab what you need quickly. Where it doesn’t stay closed all they way, I would be worried to use this in a rain storm if you don’t remember to roll the inner liner bag over your stuff. In doing so, considering the canvas is water resistant, it shouldn’t get anything wet on the inside. All in all, I do love this bag! I feel like it will last a very long time! Besides everyday use, I plan on using it to take to the beach with me. The fact that it opens at the bottom means I can just dump it when I leave/get home and no sand inevitably getting stuck in the bottom. The liner can be used to pick up trash, carry wet clothes/gear or beach treasures without having to use a separate bag and just rinsed and wiped out and put back in when I’m done! The big size means I can just toss all my gear in it and keep my GoPro on hand and just go and not have to take more than one bag to accommodate everything! Read more

Good bag. Havent used it much, but this will hold up to foraging, garden tools, really whatever. No bottom seam, so thats one less weak point Read more

I've used this bag for two seasons. I wish the handles were attached to the canvas bag instead of the waterproof liner and that the liner attached to the bag with heavier snaps. When I grab the handles, the snaps open and the liner comes out. That's the only flaw in this bag, and it's not a big one. I love using it in our garden picking beans, tomatoes, squash and cucumbers. The pockets hold my knife and clippers and I use the flipped up bottom to hold my phone. If you have a fruit or vegetable garden this bag is great to use. Read more

I hardly ever leave reviews but I like this product so much that I decided to go for it. We have endless blueberry plants that are the size of trees and picking is a difficult task with a bucket. I found the idea for a harvest bag but I wanted one that would last and be great quality. This was at the top for price and I was skeptical but the waxed canvas material and sturdy looking straps is what sold me on it. As soon as I took it out of the box I knew I made the right choice. It is QUALITY material. I added a little container in the bag to help hold it's shape as I am rummaging through the bushes and it works like a charm. The removable waterproof liner is great for when berries get smashed in the bottom and I don't have to wash out the whole pack. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Read more

Got this for my husband & he loves it. The bag itself looks really nice but the features built into it are truly the best thing; waterproof, removable interior bag & being able to empty out contents from the bottom. Read more

Very rugged. I actually use this for carrying fish back when fly fishing. Very nice. Read more
