I like the holdall design, I can leave top open and place by holes and grab nets with ease and also handy for picking up nets. Gets flask and all sorts in.

.Most folk are going for the postie bag or large fishing/ game bag or other side-pack type device .

I've graduated from pocket to various army side packs and game bags to a post bag that has served well for the last couple of decades but as my arsenal of nets has grown the bag has bulged to the point of being insecure and also become very unbalencing to carry .

I weighed it a while back and loaded with dry nets and locator it came out at 25 lbs . Probably nothing to you youngsters but not a good weight to be strung sideways across the weedy ,ever-more decrepit body of an old duffer like meself and that's before you think about hauling a spade ,flask ,biscuits and hopefully a bundle of bunnies as well! . So in deference to my aging body I started wearing it in school satchell style like a back-pack. This was better but I had the fear that things could drop out too easily without me noticing so the next step was to invest in a proper secure rucksack.

 

I prefer the simplicity and ease of access of the postie bag if I'm lightly loaded or not walking too far but for those fully laden ,long treks over the Downs I've found a cheap 65litre rucksack is easier on the spine ,has plenty of spare capacity should you get a bumper catch (though in my case the space is more likely to be filled with some "interesting" stone, stick or skull that I've unearthed than a bumper haul of bunnies )and is so much more comfortable.I've even made a lightweight ferret box that straps onto the bag leaving all the burden distributed evenly on my back rather than swinging about on my sides .

Mind you, I'm hideously malformed so what suits me might not do for a normal person.

That was my reasoning as I carry a lot and walk a good distance and I'm a smaller woman. I was also thinking about putting the ferret box on the pack. I heard of people using a large pipe to put their ferrets in and thought it would be perfect to strap to my pack but I've never seen one and wouldn't want to try something without seeing it being used properly.

Some (many) years ago these plastic pipe ferret boxes were all the rage. They were made from large diameter drain pipe so were plenty roomy enough but being plastic (or some such) I think ventilation/condensation was a problem

[longdog13 36]

Try these, Cheap and water proof

I use one of these, it takes nets,hedge cutters,gloves small shovel in the main compartment, the collars/locators in one side pocket and longnet pegs and other bits in the other side pocket. The only thing wrong with it is when its raining you have to fold the top over or cover the top but it has a big wide top on it for throwing your nets back in when doing biggish sets.

When we are doing big sets or netting a full hedge row and needing 150+ nets we have a big army rucksack we put the rest of the nets in as well as a rake, larger spade,larger hedge cutters, branch loppers, ect.

That's what my thoughts were even if I drill hole plastic tends to hold in condensation. Thanks for the info.
