showing you a little little tip or whatever was some of our gear in particular this is our this bag right here is our cylindrical gear bag this particular one is the very same bag if you order a Molly style corduroy bag for your poncho that's the very same bag right there only I don't have a poncho in it today now I could carry a pot you want it just like this and not even carry a backpack if I'd if I wanted to I could use the MOLLE compatible platform here on the on the side here to attach some other things if I wanted to you I clip a shoulder strap right here these are available on their website adjustable shoulder straps so I can just carry this thing just like this I can go hiking around and have my gear with me I can even link two of these bags together like I can I can use the MOLLE compatible platform here to put another bag this size right here on top or I can put a bigger bag on the bottom a smaller one on top or I could put my fire starter kit all kinds of options or you know if you have something that's Molly compatible but you want to put on there he can do the same so I loosen it up here now this is an old bottle this is an old Klean Kanteen bottle it sings several years old I have used the heck out of this bottle but this is 40 ounces it's full of water so now I can carry my water with me I can slide it inside of here lock it down and I'm good to go I can go hike in my waters right here very handy one thing nice about using a bottle like the Klean Kanteen or something like that a metal bottle is I can build a fire or put it on a stove I can dip water out of a lake or a river or a creek or whatever I can bring it to a boil in here and in this bottle you know then when I get ready to go leave camp or whatever I can slide it back in here and I've got water that's already been disinfected by boiling let me show you something else you can do with this with this cylindrical gear bag you know once again this is just the poncho Cordura mati bag and that bag right there

fits the like a 32-ounce now Jean that's obviously 28 ounce bottles it also fits the 40 ounce Klean Kanteen which I just had in here one other thing it does is here is the 64 ounce

Klean Kanteen now that bad boy right there is huge but look at that that fits in there just perfectly works very nicely now I'm carrying with me two quarts of water this other bottle this other Klean Kanteen like I say I've had that on virtually every camp I've been on for years and had it in the fire on stoves everything just fine this bottle here is new so but anyway so whatever you want to do you know a big 40 ounce of 64 ounce you can do it 32 ounce whatever you want you can put them in there now that's not all let me show you one more thing here alright now here's something else you can do this bag here we can do the very we can do the very same thing with it as we did with the poncho bag listen this bag here is for our this is for our regular size tarps RPS tees now I've got the 64 ounce Klean Kanteen in here well I've also got a 20 24 ounce aluminum cup in here on top of the Klean Kanteen and I still have room in there or I could put some food items some snack items whatever by using this little taller bag I still get my my 64 ounce Klean Kanteen or you can use the 40 ounce or a 32 ounce now jean or whatever and you can put more stuff on top of it so that makes it even better

now something else you can also do is take our our I just got these out of the fire from cooking but these are our cooking sticks I can actually drop the cooking sticks down in here as well stick those down the side now I got a now if I got a at a fire pit or something like that I throw those across a couple rocks and I have a cooking platform that I can put my pot on my cup on because this this set right here I can cook a couple I can use a couple pots at the same time cooking over the fire now if you want to go even a little more extreme this is for our largest tarp our pstl and I've got the 64 ounce Klean Kanteen in here and it's about drowning in there I mean it's it's clear it's clear down here yes you can see you can see how much space you have on top of it when you have that thing in the bottom now the advantage to that is I could take this Klean Kanteen I could take a cup to cook in I could take some cooking sticks and I could I could stick me some baggy Ziploc baggies full of food or different things like that I mean look look at that I mean I'm clear I'm clear up to here down in there so I got that much space that tall that I could fill up with whatever I could even put I could even put a cook set type you know anything that's less than about four hours a day 4 inches diameter I could shove down in here on top of that and and still be good to go okay well so here I am another another little deal here I've got a poncho in this Molly in this quarter a bag and I've linked it via the MOLLE compatible attachment system on here so I linked these two together I got two quarts of water in here I got a cook set in here with some food so I've got shelter food water stuff to cook in everything right here in this little setup

and it's very cut you'll be amazed it's very comfortable to carry stuff like this you know it's nice to carry a backpack but sometimes it's nice to have something right here that's that's handy right here like on your side it carries very easily since it's so accessible you can just rig this up so you've got your trail snacks and stuff like that you could have right in here like this grab them as you need to then since that thing buy clothes so there's a lot of different options so just wanted to show you some of these things you can do with wilderness innovations cylindrical gear bags yeah besides carry our regular gear in them and that's why we do offer the bag separately under the bags category on our website so check it out check out the straps the very easily adjustable strap check out our different bags and all that sort of thing and see what you might
