Love the Pick-Up Truck

[kjquilts]

Ordered my Aubergine Pick-Up Truck on June 3rd and UPS delivered it today. Thanks to Tom Bihn crew for amazingly quick service. I like the Pick-Up Truck so much I ordered another, this time in Burnt Orange. I can see this being a very useful bag both at home and on the go and it is darn cute and makes me happy. If you've been thinking about one buy before they are gone.

Once we're comfortable going out in the world again it will work great for picnics or visits to local wineries. The center section is big enough that plastic compartmentalized trays that are approximately 9 1/2 by 12 fit diagonally with a bottle of wine (or a wine and a water bottle) on either side. There is room for snacks or whatever in the end sections. Alternatively wine bottles fit in the end sections and food/snacks can go in the middle section. The trick will be to balance heavy items for easier carrying. The handles are comfortable so that is another plus. I'm thinking for picnics utensils can go in a baggy in a A5 ghost whale.

For home use it can hold books or magazines or craft/sewing items or any variety of things that need to be contained.

I love that a Side Effect fits in an outside pocket as does my Ipad Mini in a Belkin Case.

I just ordered a Burnt Orange PU Truck too! I figure it would make a great gym bag, or just carrying stuff from downstairs to upstairs to downstairs, etc. in my house.

Sigh.. I was holding out because I already have a tote this size (although not from TB) as well as a small shop bag, but dang it, you guys finally convinced me. =P

Got one in Neb Grey on the way. (Hey, at least it rhymes, right?)

The Pick Up Truck is great when you need just a couple of items from the grocery store. And it's a good gym bag too.

Not that we can do much visiting right now, but I like the Pick Up Truck to bring things over to friends for a gathering (bottle of wine, cheese, crackers, etc)... it was the picnic pack out photos that led me to try it out the first time.

The A5 GW works great for picnic utensils. I use a mesh one.

Hey where did you get those cutlery holders?

[luvdabags]

Your utensil holders look great. Did you make them, @labrain ?

[labrain]

I have made made them before for gifts. Pretty simple really. But these are from Etsy. Search for "cutlery pouch".

Another LOVE for the Pick Ip Truck. Mine is aubergine. It was my EDC bag before COVID-19 made me work from home.

I was hoping to buy one in seapine green or wilderness green but it looks like neither is not going to happen.

It's been 10 days since Aubergine Pick-Up Truck arrived and I'm still in love with it. It sits on ottoman in front of couch and holds many important things used every day. Middle section holds blood pressure monitor and a small travel tray with the tv remote, wave cable remote and gas fireplace remote. These three remotes aren't used near as often as the Fire Stick remote which has its own home in one of the outside center pockets. My Ipad Mini, Hobonichi Weeks that I use for health stats recording and Iphone 7 Plus fit in one of the side sections. The other side section holds a variety of reading glasses and whatever book I'm reading. The burnt orange and black Pick-Up Trucks won't have such clearly delineated purpose but both will be used and enjoyed. If you've been thinking about a Pick-Up Truck you might want to jump on it before they are all gone.

Just so bummed that the Pick-Up Truck has been discontinued. I missed out on my favorite (Aubergine) and second favorite (classic Black) colors, but was able to grab one in Nebulous Grey. It has easily become my go to bag during stay-at-home. I have all my daily essentials corralled and easily transported throughout the day. It is the perfect size for so many things. I can only hope they they will do an additional run or two so I can pick up an Aubergine (to match my Truck!) and Black one some day. A girl can dream, after all!

I would have loved a Mars Red one...did they make those? Does someone have one that needs a new home?

[haraya]

Looks like they did make the Pick-Up Truck in Mars:

The Monster Truck has Mars listed as "In Production", if a different size will satisfy you.

These were my pictures of a Mars Red Pick-Up Truck posted in December in response to @Walker ’s questions about this bag:





The Mars Red stock initially held up pretty well, when the announcement went out that these were being discontinued. It’s just that all these bags started disappearing once that happened. I was caught up in the Aubergine inventory issue; even though there appeared to be plenty when I placed my order, soon after the announcement, they actually had been oversold. In the e-mail correspondence that followed, I kept suggesting alternative colors that were in stock, but then by the time I got a reply, they would be sold out. This happened with Viridian and Black as the first set of alternatives, then with Island and Nebulous Grey — but one Island came back on Thursday, so I grabbed it for the email follow-up, and one Viridian reappeared appeared on Saturday, which I ordered separately (it just arrived this weekend).
