I've been carrying a rover by red rock outdoor for about a year now and it's held up nicely, no tearing or coming apart at any seams. Look it up on Amazon. Highly recommended. I have 2 kids and it comes in handy by carrying a FAK, iPad, and heck even diapers. Plenty of room for edc items.

Just don't mix up your pockets- Huggies are a real pain to try and check your email on....
I have a few shoulder bags but lately I have been more interested in sling bags like this one:
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,64468.0.html
I do have a laptop bag that I carry as a shoulder bag- it is a Maxpedition Tactical Operator bag and it handles pretty well everything I have thrown at it for years.

It basically started off as a BIG backpack, but then I cut the one BIG section out, I kept the expandable part but cut it to size and also the small section, this way I can carry the little stuff I have but if while out I come across something I can open up the expandable part and toss it in rather then carrying it by hand, unless I can hook it to the wife's scooter, then no need,, :whistle:

I have never bought anything from the following store, it was just the first picture I could find: http://www.campz.de/fjaellraeven-travel-small-pouch-black-284102.html
Yes, it's tiny, but I get around by walking most of the time. Carrying around big stuff gets old pretty quickly. :)

The smallest one I use regularly is right in classic murse territory, I guess. Fjällräven bag, sized for DIN A5 contents. Perfect for a big phone, a book, and some EDC goodies. Discontinued, I think, but it's just your basic tiny shoulder bag in Fjällrävens usual G-1000 fabric.Totally! Neither the wife or I drive due to medical, and we have to go places all the time so it's good to be prepared but sucks not being able to just to toss the bag in the back seat and forget it..

Heck back when I could drive I kept a HUGE(like 40gal) tote TOTALLY full of stuff besides the things for needed for the vehicle.. That thing omg, had to weigh at least 50lbs, but it came in handy a few times!

I love the Lunada. The organization options, build quality, and materials are top notch and I don't think you can really beat it in a sling bag of that size. Maxpedition gear is not what anyone would consider cheap; the Lunada is a pretty small bag and I paid $90 for it. That's well under retail, but still a good chunk of cash if your budget is tight. I haven't regretted the purchase for a minute though, the quality is definitely there. I'd say the main cons are related to weight. The 1000D nylon Maxpedition uses is highly abrasion resistant but also relatively heavy. Being a small sling bag, the Lunada can get uncomfortable if you overstuff it. But if you're looking to just pack daily stuff it isn't usually an issue. I considered getting a Remora, but I did a lot of research and decided it was just a little too small for my purposes. The Lunada has been a perfect fit size-wise and I don't really need the extra pouches... I just kinda like buying and using new gear :D
If you have any questions about fitting specific items in it, or any of the specific features, feel free to ask. I'll be glad to take some pics and demonstrate anything I can.
My new acquisition is a Mountainsmith Rift, their small messenger bag;
(http://i.imgur.com/MaG8HNG.jpg)
If you've never tried anything by Mountainsmith, their bags are light and very well made. Plus they tend to have a nice stylish, sporty look. The outside shell is some variety of polyester blend that they rate at 600D, and the interior liner is 210D nylon. Ripstop I think. They have decent organization options in most of their bags, often with hidden compartments for money, documents, or small valuable items.Their interiors are also a very bright yellow, to give contrast with the contents so you can clearly see your stuff when it's deep in the bag or the lighting is poor.
Mountainsmith's prices are also very reasonable, in my opinion. The Rift runs about $50, and its capacity is on par with the Lunada. Their bigger messenger bag, the Hoist, retails for $90 but can be found as low as $58 on Amazon sometimes.The Rift has a little compartment in the lightly padded main area that can hold almost any tablet or possibly a very small netbook, while the Hoist has a special laptop pocket. I'll be happy to demo it (the Rift) with whatever items anybody asks about, just like the Lunada, so long as I have the item or a rough equivalent.

It sure beats trying to fill one's pockets with glasses, wallet etc. etc. It also does not look "tactical" which I prefer to avoid (just my personal preference).
https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5035-675/Classic-Messenger-Bag
It could do with a little bit more zippered organization however works quite well for my needs is well made and should last a long time.

I found a new EDC bag today. I was looking for a teardrop shaped bag to wear over my left shoulder and across my chest, with a large slash pocket on the back for a pistol that I could access with my right hand. This was only $4.00 and it does the job. One modification is required and that is a Velcro patch needs to be sewn on the inside of the slash pocket to position the Velcro covered holster I've put in it.Cute :D

I will upload a couple, new on the forum. Still trying to figure out how to navigate it. They are more of an urban/style bag. Great quality and still very functional, but def not something like a maxpedition or tactical bag.

I carried my Colossus every day in college, (never carried my text books really) and it has served me very well. The stitching in one pocket is starting to go but is easily repaired. The bag has traveled to Germany and Austria and has gone on most state side road trips I've been on.
The shoulder bag is not one I would carry into the woods. its just not appropriate for long distant or rough ground travel. I've recently acquired a Maxpedition Typhoon double strap pack and its the best upgrade I could ever think of. But its kind of like a kindergartners pack type size....small but fantastic in its capacity and utility.

Also, the letter Y is called Ypsilon or I Grecum in many languages. It is a letter Greeks invented (added to the Phoenician alphabet to make the Greek) that has symbolic meanings. It is related to water and containted to many words related to water and water containers (Ύδωρ is water in Greek), but also with male and female. As Y it resembles the female genitalia and inverted (think the Mercedes Benz emblem) the male genitalia (errected smurf).
The small case Υ, which is written υ, looks like and is used like a Latin and German V, pronounced as v, f or i, according to its relation with neighbor letters.

You should take a look at the Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack, the Vanquest Tolcat 2.0 and the Hazard 4 Kato, I hear they are great. Can't say for myself but you should check them out. All of those manufacturers also make small single strap backpacks

Well, I dont think they are too big. They are little versions of bigger ones. The Kato barely fits a small notebook pc. And the fat boy is tiny compared to the Jumbo. But you're the one who's using it so if those are too big for you, there are smaller ones like the Maxpedition Thermite, or you could use a EDC organizer and attach straps to it as well.You should take a look at the Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack, the Vanquest Tolcat 2.0 and the Hazard 4 Kato, I hear they are great.

Or just use the dreaded fanny pack slung over your shoulder. I assume you just want to carry your phone, wallet etc?I tried the Lunada for awhile but found it just too small.

This is definitely a factor in some locations. To put in my 2 cents, I've never been accosted or searched while carrying my Lunada. The one time I was questioned by a police officer about it, he wanted to know where I got my duck patch :D
