Just go for it! I’m seeing it more and there’s no reason to carry a huge backpack when you only need space for a handful of things.

I got a waxed canvas cross body sling bag that carries everything I need with some space to add on for one offs.

In my bag is:

• Waxed canvas tool roll with my late grandfathers Gerber multitool, Schafer Old Timer knife, knipex 125, sharpie, pens, field notebook and flashlight

• Waxed canvas pouch with mini first aid kit (supplies for me and the dogs), vetwrap, usb wall adapter, multi type charging cord, and power bank

• 32 oz. Nalgene with water

• Collapsible dog bowl

• dog poop bags and glasses cleaning cloth in the small pocket

• clipped in different spots is a locking carabiner for leash hooking and used poop bag holder with clip

I carry it less this time of year. It’s getting cooler and the dogs don’t need water in the winter weather like in the summer. Plus, I have most of the stuff I’d need from my bag in the cars winter kit and some winter specific stuff.
