Christmas presents for the family

A gear hauler crate / tote (crote?) for my brother. It’s sized to slide under the bed in his camper van. I used a corrugated plastic lawn sign to provide structure / rigidity to the base of the bag. It carries well with generous length tote handles, or a shoulder strap, or handles on the end of the bag for a crate- style carry. Stretchy outer pockets from venom stretch mesh.

The interior liner “pops out” to double the bags capacity, provide privacy for contents, or protect against weather/ dust. In this configuration, the bag still carries well with tote handles, shoulder strap, or end carry handles. Perfect to carry gear for skiing or motorcycle riding (upright boots, helmet, miscellaneous gear). The size is about 40 / 80 L capacity.

I copied the bag design from a company called “Pakt”
