Dirty Gear Bag

Well the long awaited Dirty Gear Bag has arrived! Stephen was promised the bag months ago when he renewed his 4WD magazine subscription. Even the courier started to duck his head every time he passed our house as Stephen would stop him in the street just to see if maybe he had forgotten to deliver a parcel to our house.

What is a Dirty Gear Bag... some of you may ask? It is a strong canvas bag that hangs off the spare wheel on the back of our 4WD for all your dirty gear - rubbish or recovery gear that has fallen in the mud etc.

We have always pondered the idea of getting one of these and wished we had actually gone and got one during every trip. Carrying your rubbish from a camping trip in the car, especially when it consists of dirty nappies is no joy! Lugging the muddy snatch strap on the floor of the 4WD and sighing each time a child treads on it and spreads the filth takes away from the fun. Now it can all be carried OUTSIDE the vehicle in our new bag.

All we need now is a trip to use it.... photos to come!!
