2014 Tom Bihn Wish List

[K9TB]

This is a Skookum Dog wish, but since there is no Skookum Dog forum, I will air it here:

I would like a dog collar (for my dog, in case there was any confusion) with two rings: one heavy-duty D ring as a leash attachment point, and a free-moving split ring onto which you can thread the dog's bling--his rabies tag, license tag, St. Francis medal, what have you. Then, the tags are always under the dog's chin rather than being a nuisance when trying to get the

Ruffwear makes two ring collars... But the second ring for bling isn't free moving. I like them.

A compression cube for the A30 that covers the entire floor of the bag and about 4 or 5 inches high unloaded that compresses down to less than half and possibly a companion half cube in medium blue!

Some years ago I got a collar with the ring configuration I described, but I don't think they're made any more, and frankly, it was pretty ugly. But my poor dog is still wearing his nasty, manky old collar because I very much adore the two-ring configuration.

I figured that sometimes when we ask for more o-rings in bags we get them, so it's worth a shot.

As much as I like my Burnt Orange S19, I'd love one in Iberian even more. The 200d Dyneema is plenty tough. I'd love the flexibility of the fabric and the light weight!

Side Effect in linen and Synapse in Aubergine...

+1 to the Linen Side Effect!

[Moose]

I'd love an aubergine/kiwi Swift with a uv interior. I hope one of the new bags is Side Effect like, about twice the size with lots of pockest and a significantly improved strap.

How is the new batch of Aubergine/Navy/Wasabi Swifts going?

Side Effect in Linen would look nice...even Burnt Orange, and Kelly Green.

[meekasmom]

bring back linen color--- in anything but would love a smallish day pack for those who can't do shoulder bags

Sorry I meant to say the outer open pocket. Since it's not zippered I don't always feel safe tossing stuff in there. It's great for magazines or to drop a water bottle into but there are times when I've thought clipping in a zippered organizer pouch would be a huge plus. Sort of making it into a zippered pocket you don't gave to lift the flap to access.

This! I would love this! I think we need 2 o-rings, one of each side.

You could also stitch a split ring into the binding/seam in the pocket, instant O ring. Using small stitches and split ring won't stand out like a sore thumb. You then have someplace to hook a key ring.

[icebeng]

I can suggest an interim solution, in the meantime, make use of the o-rings in the main compartment. Clip a keystrap onto one of the o-rings in the main compartment, then instead of dropping the other end of the keystrap into the main bag compartment, drop it into the exposed outer pocket. Tether whatever you need to this end. If you prefer not to have the keystrap stand out so much, use the black one, or one that blends with the exterior of your bag.

You could also tether stuff to the carrying handle of the cafe bag.

Yes, now that would be a great addition! I would find the O-ring there useful too!

Hi Jess, do you mean an extra O-ring inside the zipped pocket? Because there is already one in that outer zipped pocket in Cafe Bags (in mine anyway). It would be in the upper left corner if facing the bag front on. :-)
