The Gig Bag.... The Holy Grail of personal bags

My friend Allen and I were talking about “Gig Bags” and the importance of having the right bag to do road shows. It is funny how you can see something that you want to take on the road with you such as a cool knife, or flashlight, and the second though in your head ends up being… where is that going to fit in my bag?

So, I decided to list out everything that goes in my bag when I hit the road to do a show.

So, here goes.
