For many years I used cotton canvas stake bags (we called them hub sacks) to haul small stakes and various tools around in the field.?ÿ They wore out periodically, but were otherwise pretty nice to use.?ÿ Several years ago I bought a Seco bag made of Rhinotek, a coated nylon fabric.?ÿ At first I thought it was a big improvement due to markedly improved durability, but it wasn't long before I realized that the material is too stiff, especially in cold (or even modestly cool) weather.?ÿ I've grown to really dislike that bag, so today I went shopping online to buy a new canvas one.?ÿ The problem is that I can't find any for sale.?ÿ At this point I'd settle for one made out of heavy nylon or other fabric, as long as it's not coated with anything stiff.?ÿ Any sources?
Thanks!

You reminded me of the canvas bag I used, as a boy, to deliver newspapers. I googled "canvas newspaper carrier bag" and came up with?ÿthis.
That bag is a little short on pockets, but I'm not sure I'll really miss them.?ÿ I ordered one of the larger (22") size.?ÿ Even with ten bucks shipping, it only came to about 26 bucks.
Maybe the Home Depot Husky 24? Tool bag.
Yeah I too bought one of those Rhino tek bags and the lath bag is ok but the smaller 18" bag sucks for the exact reason you stated, it is far to stiff and makes folding and stuffing into its proper storage area difficult.
Not advertising, but we still sell the nylon Cordura bags without the Rhinotek coating.?ÿ I'm sure other dealers carry them too.
Hayes was the first website I checked, but I didn't see any plain Cordura stake bags.?ÿ?ÿ How do I find it?
Jim i have a SECO stake bag. About 18 inches long with side and end pockets. Let me know if you are interested.
I have the second and the fifth from the top left.?ÿ They wear out a bit faster than I think they should, but the flexibility and layout of the pockets matches my needs most of the time. The 18" would be nice when I can get by with shorter hubs.
My first hub bag lasted the longest/suited me the best. It actually was a paper carrier's bag.?ÿ

This business has caused me to coin the expression: I learn something new every day if i am not real careful.
Today, I have learned that we can no longer get the non-Rhinotek bags from SECO.?ÿ David White/SitePro seems to copycat what SECO offers in this type of product, so I stand corrected.?ÿ We no longer carry the non-Rhinotek bags because we can no longer get them.
My apologies...
And more importantly, thank you for looking at our site in the first place.
I have an assortment of DeWalt tool bags.
They come in many sizes and I store prisms, tribrachs, batteries and assorted gizmos in them.
They have the regular version that are canvas with a coating and then they have the professional series that is heavier canvas with a hard plastic bottom and a metal?ÿ retainer around the top with handles, side pockets and a shoulder strap. They also have a zipper to close it.
The largest professional one I have is 24x12x12
I kept shopping around and never spent over $35 and found a couple of two for the price of one deals.
Here is a view of what they have, not the best priced ones, just a sampling

Berntsen sells a nice (expensive) bag. I've had a few of them and I love them. The only modification I make is to cut the elastic in the outside pouches.
The Berntsen is more of a lath bag, too deep for my purposes.?ÿ (I have a lath bag, and it's great for carrying lath, but not for a bunch of small tools.)?ÿ And you're sure right about expensive:?ÿ $175!?ÿ I can buy a lot of cotton bags for that.
