In nylon digital camo, this military radio bag measures 11" x 12" x 6" with adjustable straps on the side panels to pull them in, another to close the top, and a pair of female molle buckles to attach it to something else. Sew it all together, add a strap and you’ve got a great carry-all. Note openings at bottom corners. For you collectors, it’s marked  "APB03 RADIO POUCH SPM1C1-09-F-C002 8465015158636 F190686393 TAMCN NO. C54402F"

Could very well be for a gas mask, but that's just a guess, and we know not from whose military. Interesting, though, and rubberized for your protection. It's olive drab, 9-1/2" x 11" x 4", with hook-and-loop belt fasteners. The belt fasteners are oriented so that there's an 8" x 10" snap-flap pocket on the front, a fold-over closure for the bag itself on one short side with a hook-and-loop catch against the body, and a 4" x 6" pocket with hook-and-loop closure on the opposite short side. Good deal if you need to keep stuff dry. Even better after a few hours in the sun and a good spray with a fabric freshener.

When you need to keep your powder dry, you'll wish you had this army-green rubberized bag from the Dutch military. Measures 12" tall x 14" wide x 5" deep, with tri-fold top flaps for extra waterproofing and heavy-duty embedded feet on the bottom corners. No carrying straps, but it has plastic buckles on the back and sides to add them. Easy conversion to a messenger bag or a pair of panniers.

It's anybody's guess where these military-style rubberized, nylon medics' shoulder bags came from but they'd be handy for anyone with campers, or just stuff to put in a bag. Measure 8-1/2" long x 5" tall x 4-1/2" with a medic cross on the side and a hook-and-loop closure plus a toggle fastener. Shoulder strap extends from 38" to 59". Some look to have had a strap removed--this is new old stock--and all of them would be happy as fanny packs.

Originally a canteen pouch with two little mouse ear flaps that wrap around the top and snap closed, this insulated olive drab bag could double as a purse or a dog bone holder. Which technically would make it a pooch pouch. Measures 7-1/2" x 7" x 2-1/2". Snap straps on the back let you clip it to your pack or belt.

These olive/brown canvas camo grenade pouches measure 3-3/4" x 3" x 2" with snapping top flaps and (2) 1” wide snap-on belt straps on the back. Made in the USA and marked “NSN 8465-01-465-2093 DAAK60-97-D-9302" which is a lot of numbers for such a little pouch, but that’s the military for you.

We’re semi-gaga over these lightly used Belgian Army Engineers’ bags because we don’t hardly ever get square bags. This one is 11-1/2” tall x 5-1/2” square (loaf of bread-sized) in heavy olive drab canvas. Top has leather-reinforced side panels and closes with a brass and leather tab/slot. Has a 4-foot adjustable strap with a lanyard clip, plus (3) C-rings on the back. Inside has (2) 8-1/2” deep side pockets.

Once upon a time, people positioned themselves on the globe with maps you could fold up. If that warms the cockles of your orienteering heart, get yourself this black canvas map case. Measures 20” x 16-1/2” with a clear window on one side (for rainy day wandering) and a flap with (5) pencil holders on the back. Folds to an easy-to-carry 11” long x 6” wide with an adjustable and detachable 42” shoulder strap. Lots of hook-n-loop strips keep it together. Best of all, if you get lost you can do your own recalculating.

You’ll need a map case. From the pre-smartphone world, where military maps still live. These are 11" x 6-1/2" folded, and they open to a clear 16-1/2" x 20" window with a zippered top on one side and a 7" x 4-1/2" x 5/8" flapped pocket with (5) pen holders on it. Close with hook-n-loop fasteners and have a 42” long adjustable and removable shoulder strap. You pick olive digital camo or desert digital camo versions.

You don’t have to be a medic to appreciate this rubberized medic’s bag from, we suspect but aren’t posilutely sure, Uncle Sam. In deep olive drab, 8" x 5" x 4-3/4", with a hook-and-loop closure on top, an adjustable 64” shoulder strap and 1-3/8” belt loops on two sides. We like it for toting lunch or anything else you need to keep dry (your powder?) in the woods.

Nah, we don’t know either. Ours has that number, but yours may not, and it’s removable anyway. It’s an olive drab canvas bag 30” x 29” in a vaguely torso/chubby clover shape, e.g. with approx 8” bump-outs at the the top and on two upper sides. Like a garment bag for a fancy dress uniform with a giant collar and big epaulets. (OK, we made that up, but still.) Has a double zipper over the top, canvas handle grips, and adjustable 40” straps so it can be worn like a backpack. (French vets are encouraged to call us and explain.)

The manufacturer calls this military-style canvas holder a grenade pouch, but it looks like they had mighty small grenades in mind. On the other hand, it’s a pouch, so it doesn’t know what it’s carrying. Measures 4-1/4” x 3-3/8” x 2” with a 3-1/2” top and a molle-buckled strap around it, plus a pair of snapped belt loops in the back. In digital camo.

Before there was olive drab canvas there was genuine leather military equipment, like these 4-slot German military magazine pouches. Measure 10-1/4" x 6-1/4" x 1-3/4" with a quartet of compartments at approx 1-1/4" x 1-3/4" x 8" deep with flip-down covers that fasten over brass studs. Has an angle-mounted 60” buckled strap with a 4" x 2-1/2" x 7/8" flapped pouch sliding on it. You’d need to roll your magazines pretty tight to fit in the slots, but they’d hold any number of Slim Jims.

No, you don’t need Bulgarian shoulders to carry this well used M-36 shoulder bag from the Bulgarian army. Measures a purse-like 12” x 10” x 2+” in a soft cotton (we think) olive drab canvas. Has a 7-1/2” flap, a leather strap/buckle closure, and a buckled 45” shoulder strap. Just the thing for toting a couple hunks of sujuk and a bottle of rakia for your lunch.

These surplus rubberized medical bags have been used by someone’s army, but we know not who's. (Adds to the mystery, we think, but if you know whose army it is, drop us a line.) They measure 11-1/2" x 9-1/4" x 4" closed, with a 7” flap and an adjustable canvas shoulder strap. Fronts have an approx 8” x 11” reinforced drop-down shelf on a flap with dual latches, and there are full-width pockets on either side of the center section with (5) 2-1/4” square pockets. There’s also a pair of small rings on the back, and a red cross stitched on the flap.

We think these started life in the Chinese military, but they won’t say. They’re small garment bags in a heavy rubberized fabric. Measure 24" x 15-1/2” x 5-1/2" but have a set of double-snap male closures with (3) alternate sets of female clips so you can keep it full length, fold it once, or roll it up to 1/3-size. Has zippers halfway down for loading ease, and the handle will detach and re-attach in another position when folded smaller. Also has a 2” x 1-1/2” ID-card slot.

Red is the new olive drab. Unless it’s navy blue, or orange, or camo. You pick from our rainbow of new repro bags designed like German Field Medic’s bags, in heavy-duty 22-oz cotton canvas with a pair of leather buckled straps and adjustable web shoulder strap in black, and a white cross on a red circle on the front flap. Bags measure 11-1/2” x 12-1/2” x 3-1/4”.

Well then, you’ll need a little light military bag in olive drab cotton, from Bulgaria. Has a flap with an adjustable buckle strap to hold it down, and an adjustable buckled shoulder strap to sling over your shoulder. Measures 12” x 11” x 2-1/2”. Might have a touch of schmutz, which is just proof of its surplus-ness, of course, but it’s cotton, so pop it in the wash.
