Title: Slight Change- I hope you don't mind!
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on July 26, 2016, 12:37:56 AM: I have changed the name of the forum from "Sheaths and Carry Methods" to "Sheaths, Bags, Packs and Carry Methods."

I was going to just call it "Sheaths, Bags and Carry Methods" but Megan insisted that "Packs" was better than "Bags."

IMO, "Packs" is the term marketers at various manufacturers use to make the products sound more exciting, while the users generally just refer to them as "bags." In the end, I decided that rather than argue with her, I would just use both words because neither of them individually would cover as much as both together. Plus, this is MTO, so, since I was faced with Choice A or Choice B, I went with C- All Of The Above.

As for Inclusive Naming Conventions (INCs) When does it get a Three Letter Acronym (TLA)?

Packs, Bags and Sheaths? (PBS?)

IDK.

Post by: rdub934 on July 26, 2016, 03:17:35 PM: Pack, for sure. Bag makes think someone is carrying stuff around in a plastic bag from Walmart.
Title: Re: Slight Change- I hope you don't mind!
Post by: enki_ck on July 26, 2016, 03:58:56 PM: Packs for me.

Bags make me think school bag or the female handbag.

Packs however more of backpack, rucksack and the like. :shrug:

Post by: Grant Lamontagne on July 26, 2016, 11:35:50 PM: Sachet de la poo poo is a running joke here. Megan is learning French for her job and occasionally I will point to things and she needs to tell me what it is in French. I pointed at the poo bags for the dogs and she had no idea, so I said "sachet de la poopoo" quickly and with a French accent.

She did not fall for that one.

I have changed the name of the forum from "Sheaths and Carry Methods" to "Sheaths, Bags, Packs and Carry Methods."

Perhaps it should be called "Sheaths, Bags, Packs, Rucksacks, Clips, Carabiners, Pouches, Holsters, Cases, Dangly Doo-Dahs & Bits of String and other Carry Methods that we can't think of just now" ?

We wouldn't want to over-complicate it. :P
