Hikermor's thread ("What Should You Carry And Why?") compelled me to pull out my backpack and admire the "Musher's Pouch" I bought last fall. Which then caused me about an hour ago to order three more of these bags in other colors to better organize gear in my pack and bikes. I could comfortably put two of these on my backpack's hip-belt but so far just leave the one I have inside my backpack.

Below is the link to this "Musher's Pouch" (i.e. belt bag) that I highly recommend for organizing survival gear and, if you like, wearing on your belt or backpack hip-belt.

You can see below the construction details and dimensions. For safety, I also appreciate the reflective tape on the front of the bag.

Since 2003, I've been buying all my bikejoring gear at this place (a small business located near Seattle). Still using towlines and harnesses that I bought from them in 2003. By the way, If you're ever interested in bikejoring or dogscootering, I'm pleased to share my years of experience bikejoring with Gidget and her Samoyed friends. Bikejoring/scootering was my greatest gift to Gidget in her life.

Musher's Pouch (AC001)

The Alpine Outfitter's Musher's Pouch is made of 300 Denier Cordura for durability. Our handy Musher's Pouch can be worn on your Alpine Outfitter's Musher's Belt or a standard belt and is great for carrying your keys, cell phone, money, etc.

It has a sturdy Nylon zipper and a convenient brass snap inside to secure your keys. Also features a strip of reflective tape for your safety at night!

Approximately 7.5" Wide X 6" High X 3" Deep.

Available in Black, Blue, Green, Orange, and Red.

Nice pouch, I like the color coding organization. I use a County Comm Handy Zipper Pouch as a kit organizer, but the Zipper Vault Plus (8.5" x 5.0" x 2.5") is similar to the Musher's Pouch. The Zipper Vault Plus has belt loops and serves well carrying small items. Unfortunately, they only come in black.

Thanks, Dagny, for the info. I, too, have been looking for pouches in a color other than black and these seem like a very useful size. It would be nice is they would state how many 30 round magazines and/or hand grenades each could carry. I mean, what else would you use these for?

Ha, ha!

The bag would easily hold a few, perhaps several, handfuls of Milkbones.

It is very good that you mentioned pepper spray. Very useful in the right situations, and not just for bears....

As a alpinist; those things look heavy!

I find the much maligned "fanny pack" lumbar pack or waist bag a great way to carry items.

Alpinist light = sawn down toothbrushes, Trimming that little inch of extra string/strap which is not needed, discussing if you need a second pair of (lightweight microfiber) boxer for a week trip, using a big ziplock bag instead of a map case, etc.
