Thanks for the comments.

Total weight...not positive, but around 15lbs estimated, I know I am below 20lbs. New radio gear reduced total by at least 3-4 lbs. Note: this bag contains some items for daily use like the camera and tabletop tripod that are for "entertainment" only. I usually also have a book stuffed in the back pocket etc.

I have a backpack that could be used, but I much prefer the shoulder bag as it functions as my HAM base station "desk" if you will, it carries easily and fits into my work environment better than a backpack.

Small FAK is part of my on-body kit and coat kit, not shoulder bag. This has the moleskin, a large pill fob with aspirin and other daily medications only. This could stand some beefing up....also without too much additional weight.....good point.
