Got any pictures? Would like to see what it all looks like.

 

I will take some today when I have a few. I am not going to have time to broken down my EDC bag, but I can snap a few pics so you can see it packed, and the pocket layouts.

 

That'd be great thanks, Yeah I just wanted to see how it looks packed and how spacious it is, cheers!

 

Really looking forward to this thread. If I get the chance I'll snag a few shots of my 12 clone spread out today as well.

Thanks for the heads up and the compliment. Can you tell me which ones didn't come through? Perhaps in order from 1 - 10 from the top? I will edit and repost the missing ones.

Thanks. I just re-uploaded them to another folder on my picture share site and changed the links to the pics. Let me know if that fixed it.

And my Gig/Work Bag:
