Carry History :: The WWII Jerrycan
…wo cans that were next to each other with one hand. Thus, allowing them to carry four filled Jerrycans at once. If they weren’t so buff, they could still carry four empty cans without any problem. Full or empty, it would have been impossible for one soldier to carry four flimsies – the Jerrycan allowed for both.

Aer Travel Sling 2 Review
…stly, the Aer Travel Sling 2 features two external lash straps, which is a carry-over feature from the original design. I imagine it would be useful if one was carrying something like an umbrella or a tightly rolled jacket, but I personally found little use for them; they felt a bit vestigial to me and I would have preferred if they were removable. They do mostly stay out of the way, which is appreciated. But for a company so focused on clean and…

Design Heads :: Interview with James Brittain
…What kinds of hobbies do you pursue when you aren’t creating wonderful new carry products? Have you created any carry craft specifically for that hobby, or do you intend to in the future?

…ingapore | Carry Retailers Do you know what product dominates the world of carry? Where the most volume is done across bags, wallets, luggage and carry utility? It’s in give-away bags for companies and conferences. Those terrible cheap things with “Jim’s Franchisee Conference 2010 Las Vegas” poorly embroidered on a patch at the front. That’s pretty sad.
