Several great suggestions I think.. I'd be happy with an FE Zippo, or plain leather/logo Cigar Wallet.

I too have a few blind bags and will look into some options. What features and overall size are you thinking?

We need a blind bag that checks all the boxes below. I've actually mocked one up before with input from my duck crew because the search for the perfect blind bag has been futile. Happy to share.

Internal:
Sleeve for flask. Small waterproof pocket for smokes & lighter. Small waterproof pocket for ear pro. Waterproof sleeve for license, phone, wallet, keys. Room for first aid kit-sized items, gloves, etc. Spare sleeves for smaller miscellaneous items like knife, multitool, calls, etc.

External:
Fully waterproof pocket on each side that fits 2 boxes of shells each - keeps it balanced. Snack pocket. Bottle/can holder. Molle system and/or sturdy carabiner loops. Rubberized shoulder strap that actually stays on your shoulder. Sides can be waxed canvas for looks, but internal-facing side should be better waterproofed. Top and bottom must be truly waterproof.

Optional:
- External pistol holster. I generally carry to and from the spot, but don't need it on me once situated. It's a real pain to carry in waders
- External ammo loops for quick access. Maybe ~10 rounds
- Some sort of detachable rigging that can hold your shotgun, sorta like how some of those western packs have slots for your rifles
- Bird straps, but user could always just clip their own onto molle loops / carabiner rings

From a waterproofing standpoint, the bag should be able to withstand a few hours in a few inches of standing water on a blind/boat floor. Ideally it can survive a dunk without leaking.

I've tried probably a half dozen different blind bags and I have two recurring issues. 1) The best waterproof bags are generally roll tops and are basically just an open sack lacking organized storage and modularity. I don't want to have to unroll it and pull half the shit out while standing in waist-deep water or on a soaking wet boat just to reach something that's worked its way to the bottom. 2) The blind bags with the best organized storage/modularity really struggle with their proclaimed waterproof capabilities when really put to the test.

Need the unicorn that does both.

Ammo pouches

Ammo pouches would be cool, maybe even rifle cheek piece w/ammo holders....

But what about "TSA Approved" ammo containers/boxes, etc? I've always flown with factory ammo boxes for this reason, would be RAD to have something better, if it's do-able per TSA regs...

+1 for blaze Safety Third hats. Make them unstructured. I don’t shop for hats at the gas station.

For a trucker hat, L2 Brands’ Old Favorite is by far the best trucker style, it’s unstructured and the mesh isn’t scratchy. Their EZA Relaxed Twill is a good, comfortable option for solids.

Shirts with the full Field Ethos | The Global Hunt For Adventure mark, not just the FE logo. 5.4oz 100% cotton Oxford, like the Captain’s Uniform Oxford from Atlantic Rancher. For that matter, their 6oz brushed twill Fuel Dock Foreman’s is a great style too.

FE Society swag. And not like that cheap shit KUIU reserves for their Inner Circle people.

FE Society exclusive meetups. I got so much out of the Running of the Bulls last year just hanging out and visiting with these new people I met but had everything in common. @Jason Vincent going to the range this weekend? @Christian Craighead throwing horseshoes in the backyard? @Pete Correale …..doing Pete stuff? Let people know, we’ll show up. No expectations, just camaraderie. Limit the number. Someone signs up, they can’t sign up again for three months so others get a chance.

Or go big and have FE sponsors participate in an invite-only event demo. You’re already field testing skunkworks projects. We’re their target demo. Tradeshows are raping them so they’re opting for publisher-hosted private events to put product in the hands of writers. CANCON is a jerk off event for people who can’t afford / won’t buy but will damn sure shoot all the ammo, but an FES event? We’re all building multi-thousand dollar Scout rifles for FUN.

Anyway. My $.02.

Doesn't a "blaze" safety third hat send a contradictory message? 😂
