Yes. It's just that sometimes my careful with money gene kicks in. Having lived in a paper bag at side of t road when I was younger still has an effect on me.

You had a paper bag? You were lucky, all we had was a used Uncle Joe’s Mintball wrapper. And we didn’t have a road, just a sheep trod.

Aye lad, an yer tell t' youngsters o' terday that an they won't believe yer.

I sometimes say to my wife "I am a poor man. I shouldn't have a nice car and I shouldn't have this or that. This isn't right". It's REALLY hard to stop thinking and acting poor when it's how you grew up and had to manage most of your life.
 
Both me and Mrs WW are trying to get out of the penny pinching mindset but your upbringing and conditioning are hard to get away from. We'll probably die with stuffed bank accounts.

I'm sure we won't be wealthy in the end, but want to pass on what we can to our son and grandson. If we had no offspring it would change our outlook a little.

Well, we are coming closer to the end than we would like to admit to and intend to leave with a zero balance. One things for sure - the kids aren’t getting any. They both earn far more (through their own efforts) than we could ever dream of. There’s no pockets in shrouds! ;)

I always wanted children but I never had a gf who did. Mrs WW hates them. We could maybe adopt Anand and give him a good life but Mrs WW is doing a martial arts course so I wouldn't advice anyone to move in now as she does like to practice at home.

Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, bags.

I can't really suggest a bag but my advice is to think about how and where you're going to use it. I tend to use mine at the seaside and countryside and I'll go out in any weather so the bag is likely to get wet and sandy and muddy so my Billingham's are FibreNyte, I think that's what they call it, it's tough and you can clean it. I like the look of the Wotancraft leather ones and I got someone to make me a leather bag out of old leather jackets but I'm frightened to use it in the countryside and at the coast.

Where and how you want to use it might help you whittle down the list of possibles.
 
I really like my Manfrotto Advanced Hybrid Backpack, but the A7V is lost in it. It does have a small external bottle holder if using it in backpack form,. If there was something similar but with independent compartments inside that were sealed from each other I'd be interested.
