I finally gave in to European fashion and bought a "man bag," which is in reality just a purse. When in Rome, as they say. Since it's hot and I like to carry stuff, the bag is coming in very handy. I'm moving away from the Maxpedition organizer that opens like a book because it takes up too much space. I'm putting my kit in the purse -- flashlight in the most accessible pocket, and the rest in a plastic bag. You know, "break glass in case of emergency."
Good for you, Bing! I've never understood the aversion of guys to carrying a "murse". It's a place to hold your water bottle, jacket, snacks, lunch, book, some of the junk from your pockets... they're just so practical.
