Survival
Perfect "Man purse"
Uploaded on June 02, 2011As your average outdoorsman, i like to keep a small daypack or gear bag loaded with the essential gear needed for any hunting, fishing or outdoor adventure. In the bag the main things would be your gear that you will use every day for anything, such as in your bowstand, in the boat, on the river or at camp. In the bag i like to carry a good multitool and knife, powerfull flashlight, headlamp, small binoculars, 50-100ft of 550 paracord,lighter, plus a snack or two. The "man purse" will come in handy no matter where you are or what your doing. Keep it light and at the ready so you can grab and go. And when your buddy makes fun of you for carrieing a "purse", just dont let hav any food when you get lost on the way back from a hunt or wwading trip in the middle of no where

A daypack is not the same as a purse. Your buddy is an idiot and just trying to get your goat. However, I've seen women use a small daypack as a large 'purse' (see Laura Croft).
Definition of PURSE
(1) : a small bag for money (2) : a receptacle (as a pocketbook) for carrying money and often other small objects http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/purse
Definition of DAYPACK
a relatively small backpack, with shoulder straps, used for day hikes, carrying books, or the like.

Here's an imperfect photo of what he's talking about pig.

The one above is made from an old rice sack, good for carrying powder and shot for his rifle. You carry it like a purse over the head and shoulder and if crawling under brush it easily swings down in front of you. Nothing to get in the way when you bring the rifle to the shoulder too.
Our patriots carried powder horns and a bullet pouch. Never heard of anyone accusing them of carrying purses.
Thanks rat for pointing that out. Oh well, didn't know it was a shoulder bag being discussed. Doesn't matter though. Even Indiana Jones carries a shoulder bag. I've used a military surplus shoulder bag before in the field. I think it was an old map/messenger bag and it was very sturdy.
Here's some from The Sportsman's Guide:
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/browse/mil-backpacks-bags-shoulder-ba...
My day/trail pack (not to be confused with my hunting pack) is also a shoulder bag. Mine is by Overland Equipment and has two pockets that each carry a 25 oz. water bottle. The inner pocket carries my survival kit and on the back is an outside map pocket. Under the flap are pockets for often used or need to find quickly things like fire kit, first aid kit, compass, etc. The main body carries a lunch, tea kettle, bivvy sack, and tarp. I find a shoulder bag more comfortable to carry and avoid a sweaty back.
Great post Dave. I'll take another look at shoulder bags.
So, now that we've covered purses, do we need to discuss hiking kilts next?...
http://www.sportkilt.com/category/52/Hiking-Kilt.html
Sport Kilt Hiking Kilt in the Black Stewart Plaid
Great for hiking, running, camping, even swimming!
Cool, quick drying, breathable, lightweight (330 grams!) microfiber kilt for the active hiker who wants to trek in style and comfort.
Standard Features include: 22 1/2" length, Sewn-down-pleats, velcro closure with a touch of elastic in the waistband for comfort and adjustability. Designed for hikers, by hikers!
My Scottish heritage likes a kilt, but just as you should never squat wearing spurs, I likewise wouldn't like underbrush or cactus up my mini-skirt. I'll stick with trousers.
I've used an old map case before, when a back pack would be over kll. I took it on a couple of minimalist hiking trips and it is perfect for carrying lunch, a water bottle or two and some basic survival gear should something go wrong. Under certain circumstances they are way more comfortable and sensible than back packs. As far as the kilt goes, a kilt or tunic like piece of clothing was worn by both genders in nearly all cultures for the better part of history and I could see acouple environments where they could be preferable, but I'm sticking to pants regardless.
