I've never been so excited about a trash bag! You've all probably heard of the Trasharoo. Well, this is like that, but better I think. Check it out:
Adventure Trail Gear is made by Nick Scott, a very cool artisan up in Canada. I saw version 1 of his Spare Tire Bag just as he was rolling out Version 2, which has a large lower front pocket instead of two smaller side pockets with a mesh pocket in the center. Here's a pic of Version 2:
After reading some of Nick's posts on his blog, I learned he was open to customization ideas. I'm not a big fan of mesh pockets (I worry about their longevity and think it limits their utility - e.g., I'm not putting tent stakes in mesh pockets), so I asked him if he could customize a bag for me to add side pockets with fold over buckle flaps instead of the side mesh pockets, and he was excited to give that a go. It turned out great. Here's a close up of the right side pocket:
Nick uses high quality materials, heavy duty straps, and YKK Zippers. The bag zips pretty far down and there are three holes on the bottom for drainage. Here's Nick explaining how to attach this bag to a spare tire:
I originally found Nick's site not because I was looking for a spare tire trash bag, but because I was looking for a propane tank bag that I could mount to the Grenadier ladder, and he makes a 5lb. and 11lb. version. I bought the one for the 11lb. propane tank, and it mounts great (note - I tried out mounting it on the two upper rungs, but that did not work as well since the top rung is offset from the one right below):
Note the pouch, which is great for an extension hose. There's also a robust handle on the left side, which is super convenient when moving it around, since a filled 11lb. tank is pretty damn heavy. Here's Nick's video explaining how to mount the 5lb. version of this bag:
No issues operating the small rear door handle. Can't wait to get this stuff properly dirty!
