Do you need a bag that is big enough to hold your tent, camping supplies, and clothes, as well as one that will withstand the weight of all your gear and be able to endure the wear and tear of your outdoor excursions? If so, the Mountainsmith Travel Trunk XL is the bag for you.

As I write this, I’m imagining my 20-year-old son. Since Mom and Dad have all the gear and he really likes to go camping, our son frequently comes by the house to borrow our supplies. He rummages through the gear picking and choosing what he needs until eventually he is unable to locate an item. Each time he says something like, “Hey, Mom, I can’t find the (fill in the blank).” To which I reply, “I’m sure it’s just where you left it.” The problem is he has no idea where that is.

So naturally when I saw this bag, I thought of our son. All of his camping gear (and ours) could be packed in this bag, ready to go for the next trip. Of course he would have to add clean clothing and a few additional items, but for the most part, this bag would keep him organized and ready for all kinds of outdoor adventures.

In fact, this over-sized duffle is a great all-gear bag for car campers, hikers, athletes, and travelers in general.
