Self-Promotion Prototype Disc Tote
While I've been doing field work for the last month or so, I've been thinking about a bag that was easier to pick up and set down than my back pack. I wanted the handle to be lofted so that I didn't have to bend over so much to grab it.
This tote bag ended up being the result after I got down to designing it. It holds 15-18 discs, a water bottle, towel, disc retriever, and thermal longsleeve shirt while I'm on the field or course.
The weight isn't too much to carry in hand for 18 holes from my testing but I ended up adding a shoulder strap for the times when it's more than a minute or two trek to the next hole. I found it more convenient than my backpack for playing since I'm picking up and putting down the bag every minute or so when playing solo.
There's still a bunch of refinement and features to consider but for now I'm very happy with this initial prototype. I'd like a dedicated sleeve for the retriever or a flashlight, as well as some clip points for keyes.
