Two years ago I met Will Macia of Last US Bag at the Northwest Overland Rally in Plain Washington. He was there to sell his gear to the greater overland community at large. While reviewing his products two things clearly stuck out, design and quality. Having a busy training schedule during the Rally didn’t afford me much time for shopping and the Rally had ended by the time I could make it back to his booth to make a purchase.
Fast forward 6 months my day job was in need of a custom F.O.D. barrier (debris catch all) for aircraft overhaul purposes. I immediately thought of Will and Last US Bag. After a few email exchanges and meetings Will was in production of the prototype and the rest is history.
During that time I expressed that we (two of the Three Amigos) were heading to Namibia Africa for a 2 week overland trip and that we would be interested in using some of his bags for our trip. We had a training scheduled in the Vancouver WA area and made the visit to his facility. I highly recommend checking out the high tech sewing operation Will has, impressive to say the least!
We needed organization for our trip to Namibia as you can only bring so much when traveling by air and we needed to be efficient.
The first item is the Canteen Nutsack. I used this to consolidate my tire repair kit from its roto molded case. It’s made of 1000d Cordura and utilizes YKK zippers has a hook and loop top closure. The stitching is durable and the bags have MOLLE webbing on them if you wanted to thread one to a compatible backpack. Inside there are numerous small sleeved pockets for individual items. These bags worked so well for this purpose that I now have 4 of them each serving a specific use and placement throughout my vehicle for quick access.
