The bags you use are completely personal. It depends on how much stuff you want to take and how you like to carry it.

I have a roller bag that I purchased from +POS about a year and a half ago. I have those Eagle Creek luggage carriers that helps keep your cloths folded and secure inside the bag. The Eagle Creek carrier I put my entire uniform except shoes in this flat luggage item. I carry a separate wet bag that fits into my bag to throw towels and a wet uniform into.

It works for me, but might not work for you. It does seem like the roller bags are more in style right now.

Peace

I have an IAABO Bag that was purchased from The Official's Choice. It is a large leather bag (no wheels). It has four separate compartments including one for shoes. It is well made and durable. I keep my wet clothes in a plastic drawer string bag that easily fits into my IAABO Bag. My jacket also fits into the bag.

You can view the bag at the following address: http://www.theofficialschoice.com/product.asp?3=17

The price may be a bit steep. I won the IAABO Bag at my Association's Dinner and the wet clothes bag was their gift to the membership. Works for me!

Here's the same bag you talked about event, it's from the OC but it doesn't have the logo on it which means it's a little cheaper. http://www.theofficialschoice.com/pr...221&1=222&3=70

I've ordered once from the OC and was somewhat happy. I do have to say that I give them the thumbs up on updating their shipping rates!

JRut,

Do you carry an extra pair of clothes (shirt and pants), socks, pre-game board, whistles, etc. Is the RB25 big enough for you? Thanks

Wrinkling

has anybody heard of things that you can roll your clothes into that prevent wrinkling while packed ? Sounds like something RONCO would sell .

I carry two of everything except shoes in an RB30 bag. Plenty of room for me.

Peace

Yep, they are travel bags that you zip closed and then roll the air out to compress them.

Give it a rest already. If you don't like it go away, it's really simple.

Big difference between making fun of the developmentally disabled and a picture of a well endowed rodent.

Actually, it has showed up about twice a week for the last couple of years. I think you need to contact PETA and get them working on it. They're good friends of yours, right?

[/B][/QUOTE]A coupla year's ago, I posted a picture that the mods thought was over the top. They removed it. Well, know what? It's their forum and they had a perfect right to do so. I never posted that picture again, and I would never dream of trying to do so either. I also didn't whine like a little baby when they removed that picture. Iow, if they want to remove something I post, fine, that's their right and I respect that.

Gotta tell you though, we post a lot of stuff here just trying to have a little fun sometimes. None of it is meant to be mean-spirited. You don't post for the same reasons.

Please note that this is a one-time response. I don't plan to debate you on this or anything else. Ever.

I don't know if it's the "best", but I just went to some local mass-merchant (Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl's -- I forget which) and got a large Wilson gym-bag / duffel bag. Plenty of room in the main compartment for two complete uniforms (including shoes), a spare uniform, a towel and two jackets. Pockets on each end for toiletries. Two pockets on one side -- I use one for whistles, etc, and one for rules books and mechanics manuals.

No wheels -- but that's only an issue in the rare occassion when I load it up *and* have to walk a long distance.

It's lasted for 8 or 9 years so far -- it cost something like $25 at the time.

Would you prefer that the squirrel be wearing a little pair of pants? Should femals squirrels be made to wear bikini tops, or would pasties be okay?
