Ok I got my Gatemouth Longboy tool bag today , its 1 awesome bag, plenty of room for my tools, pockets for s-hook tool, pliers, s hooks, rivets, tags all that good stuff and my tools fit in it nicely, I think I'm in Luv, it'll be nice for the Ks trip as I can keep everything in it like spare tags and s-hooks and all the little stuff you might need a few of, it's plenty long also at 2'.....B.....

Gene's bag is pretty slick but seemed a little long for my liking. I can see it being a nice bag to sling over back for working rough country and rim rock requiring a lot of climbing. For a flatlander as myself i prefer a medic type shoulder bag that I can set out of w/o haveing to take off. I have an Isreali army medic bag i like for snaring, big enough to carry 12" dia coiled up snares, 2 dividers so 3 total large compartments for 2-3 different types of snares. long enough to carry a stake driving hammer w/o falling out, large flap over top that snaps shut and has small pouch of fence staples, flags or lure. If made of better material it would be top notch. think this is a replica bag w/ isreali paratroop wings on it made of a cheaper nylon material. If made just like this out of heavy canvas like riggers bags it would be great. One improvent that could be made on about any shoulder type medic bag would be a waist strap so when hunched over a location setting, it wouldnt flop down to your belly and just stay on your side. Similer to an M-17 gas mask bag that straps to leg to keep from flopping on the trot.
Yes your right Trevor, one bag just dont cut it for dirt setting and snaring both.
Gene makes a nice looking drag that is sold by John Huges, I got a few samples from him this summer but havent used them yet. have you used those drags Trevor and do they work well for you.

Gene makes a nice looking drag... ...do they work well for you.
I own 10 dozen. I bought them 3 years ago and have used them a lot since then.
I prefered the mid-sized Montana Armageddon drag, but it's heavier than Gene's, which makes carrying it very far too much of a burden.
Gene's drags are light (I think 1 7/8lbs?) and if I'm in light brush, I'll just hook up one extra drag chain. Doing that eliminates the need for three different sized drags to fit the conditions, which in turn keeps my truck more organized.
About a year ago, I told Gene he could improve the design by widening the sweep width a little, and last time I talked to him he said he had done so. The ones you have should be the improved model, making them a hair heavier and a little wider so they hang up better.
I'm probably going to end up ordering another 10 dozen before too much longer.

I do the same in light brush. Just use another drag in tandem, I stopped a coyote in a sand dune last winter.
I'll put a pic of Gene Lovin's snare quiver later today. I just got one and used it for trapping yesterday for the first time.
I like the fact that I can just leave it on my back when riding the 4 wheeler.
