Heh, good one.

Legit though, I used to have to carry similar supplies (minus the actual diapers and infant) for my job, and it was really hard to find things that were durable, well compartmentalized, had good capacity and could be cleaned relatively easy.

Towards the end of my working years, that kind of "military inspired" stuff started showing up, and it really did beat the pants off of other options I had been using.

It was super nice to be able to really organize all the ppe, wipes, gloves, spare pads, etc I had to tote around to patients. Not that nothing else worked, it just didn't work as well.

I felt like a moron with the whole tacticool vibe, but not enough to switch back lol

PPE? Against projectile vomiting? Need iron dome style lasers for that.

You aren't kidding lol. Projectile diarrhea is even worse imo. And I've had both get past ppe before. Not good times

I remember ordering stuff back around 2008/9 off eBay. I always went with black. Even now it's still cheaper for the mil stuff than actual work bags. Like shit I'm shopping for a new rolling toolbox and base price for most are like 200 for basic shit
