great budget or beginner gear

anyone tried those magellan bags you can get at academy for -$30. slipped a few fit pieces of cardboard inside for a makeshift frame and now i prefer it over some $200+ bags on the market

I've had one since about September of last year. I use it 4-6 days a week. I carry anywhere from 20-27 discs in it (sometimes 3 in a side pocket and 2 in the front mesh).

It's starting to show damage.

Mine is starting to get holes in the drink holders where it hits first when I set it down holding onto one strap. The stitching at the top of the straps is starting to come apart. I expect it to last into the summer, maybe. Maybe it'll last until fall.

Here is a thread dedicated to it and all the mods people have done to them :thmbup::

I was really disappointed with mine. By the end of 1 season it was falling apart. Torn seams on the shoulder straps, water bottle holders were starting to rip.

Poor quality overall. I got a dynamic disc soldier bag with back straps for christmas and it feels MUCH more sturdy.

Buy 12 pack bottled beer in decent cardboard box

Use rope to tie between empty box handles

A six pack of bottles actually works quite well- drink the 3 beers on one side, pop down the tabs going across and 3 discs fit perfectly.

Durability seems a little sketchy though. A backup 6 pk sounds like a good idea.

Some of the craft 12 pack boxes are pretty decent really, found many uses for them. Like holding my backups. Plus I hate throwing away all that cardboard.
