Ammo Can ManOlive Drab Green Military Style Duffle Bag – 70 lb Nylon Tactical Duffle Bag w/Padded Straps – Water Resistant Large Sport Bag for Travel, Gym, Camping, Hunting & Outdoor Gear

This thing is HUGE. Look at the dimensions on the listing. Exactly what I wanted. Two things. One is that you do not want to take it out of the plastic before you throw it directly in the washing machine. The reviews about the smell are true. It's really off-putting. Washed mine and dried it with 2 dryer sheets and the smell is not GONE, but it's fine now. It's just how the fabric smells, but it's BIG stinky before you wash it/dry it. Second, if you're OCD like me, you're gonna have to take a lighter to it and burn/melt all the stray threads. Took me 5 minutes. Now that it's clean, it's fantastic. It will last forever. You can tell right away. Attached pictures of the front where it's stamped "US", and the inside label. It's definitely made in the US, but can't confirm if it's actually "military issue" but it may be. Great bag. Just gotta prep it a bit.

We needed a solution for carrying gear through portages in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. So we bought this duffel, some spray silicone for water resistance and used a 42 gallon 3 mil contractor garbage bag for a water proof liner and saved a lot of money when compared to a traditional portage pack or Duluth pack.The design and material are identical to the sea bag Uncle Sam issued me back in '98. I ditched my old Sea bag after getting off active duty because it smelled like beer, training manuals, lost years and regrets...We test loaded this bag with 40+ pounds of gear, soft stuff on the side that touches the person carrying and hard stuff on the other side. The bag seemed to beg for more, so we stuffed it! 60+ pounds of gear and the fabric, stitches, straps, buckles, snap and closure devices held up just fine.In the BWCA we did about 40 miles in the water, about 8 miles of portages, 7 days of camping and our gear stayed perfectly dry! The bag held up just fine and will be used again.* The functional volume of the bag is just about 100 liters +/- (sorry I cannot calculate exactly).* One can of spray silicone is enough to apply two coats to this bag (I did both coats on the exterior side).* One contractor bag approx. 35-50 gallons, between 2.5 and 4 mil thick is enough to line the bag (the little external pocket on the side of the duffel is perfect for spare bags).* .25 cents per liter with water proofing spray silicone and a contractor bag, this can be a HUGE savings over portage packs or Duluth packs.* May not be as ergonomic/balanced as a portage/Duluth pack, but it is identical to what our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have used for decades.Thanks for reading through. I hope this helps you make an informed decision!~Mahalo

Phew, I was a little nervous but, these were clean DOD quality. Returning to purchase More. This will make my sixth, and my expectation. Is receiving nearly new light wear and clean bags, from a seller who seems to really care about the product they're selling

It’s a great bag for stuffing clean or dirty laundry. It sure beats those big black bags from Home Depot and you don’t contaminate the environment. It has good stitching, heavy duty straps and buckles it did have a few scuffs on the black button snaps and some dirty spots on what was supposed to be a “new” bag. Since they basically last forever I didn’t want to return it for a new one or anything I didn’t want to deal with Amazon and wait for shipping. Good purchase over all I would definitely buy another one.

Complete waste of money. I was aware I needed to wash this as soon as i got it based on previous reviews. I knew I was buying a used item and i was hoping for a little wear and tear. What i didnt know was that it would be disintegrating and even after two washes it would still smell like ass. Im forced to buy the Stansport duffel to travel with instead. Theres no way I want to put my clothes in this nasty thing. I'll be giving it to one of the homeless people down the street. They dont care what they smell like.

Good durable bag. Grandson really loves the bag.

This is the same size and shape as the GI issue I received in the Navy oh so many years ago. I was using a large Molle pack, but needed more room for comfort items. I saw this and decided to give it a try. I remember how much gear I got into my seabag, and hoped this would do the trick. Indeed it does. Seems my old bag was thicker cotton, but this one is durable and lighter. Packed it with over thirty pounds of gear, humped it a few miles to the bushcraft site, no problems. Tight seams. Comfortable straps. Good deal. Great vendor. Arrived early and well packaged. Highly recommend these guys.
