spekesoftlly (#22),
Somewhere in the depths of my garage is an original WWII brown canvas parachute bag, given to me by my late father when I was a youngster....
A wonderfully useful thing, carry any amount of kit; used in our VVs in Burma to transport dogs. You put your dog in, zipped up so just his head was out, Carry him by the loops, he couldn't get out or move about the aircraft.
Hopefully he was parachute-bag trained !
