Grab Bag!

January 31, 2011 12:20 PM

Bag Identification: maybe about 2-1/2 feet long, 4 inches diameter, with two smaller zippered pods toward either end. What is this bag for? (sorry, no photo)

Tent poles? The zippered pods would be for various acoutrements like stakes and the like.

Without a photo, this is a wild guess. Does the bag have any markings on it? Handles? Where is the zipper to the main compartment?

What's the material, and what color is it?

Can you draw it? Is there a label anywhere? My best guess is it's a yoga mat bag.

I have a similar-sounding bag for my tripod.

Best answer: Maybe a pool cue case?

My Kilt Carrier has similar dimensions. Looks kind of like this one. A mat inside pops out, you lay your kilt on it, roll it up and put it in the bag. My carrier only has one small pocket near the top end that I use to store my flashes, but I've seen some with two.

Chess set.

Board rolls up and goes along the length. Pieces go in zipped pouch on each end. Chess clock goes in the middle.
