Product description

Is something rotten in the state of Denmark? At least none of that came with these Danish toxic warfare bags, because they are unused. They do not contain traces of plutonium, anthrax, or those nasty chemicals favored by one screwed-up neighbor of ours. Unfortunately, these won’t glow in the dark or give you any superpowers, but you do get the coolest shopping bag in the universe that is an utter pleasure to carry on your shoulder or your back.

Features

This is a pretty simple and delightfully green rectangularish bag that comes with a sturdy strap to turn it into a sling bag or a backpack. Check out the pics to find out how to do it.

There is no data on the materials, but it is some kinda very tough fabric, possibly Nylon. The inside has been coated with something equally mysterious. The bag features a hook & loop closure.

Use

These were sold as ABC bags, but the original Danish name isn’t mentioned. ABC comes from the words atomic, biological, and chemical. The term is outdated, but so is this bag. More recent acronyms are NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical), WMD (weapons of mass destruction), and CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear). They all refer to the shittiest forms of warfare that certain dictators fantasize about.

We haven’t got the slightest clue when these were in service and what was supposed to be carried inside. Some sort of related gear, probably. At least these aren’t meant to store anything toxic or radioactive because the closure mechanism isn’t fit to keep any fumes inside.

If you don’t plan on waging any nuclear wars any time soon, this is a pretty awesome bag for carrying groceries. Buy durian or French cheeses, and you stay within the same ballpark. You can also carry your gym gear, beer, or whatever you might fancy.

Condition

Unissued Danish military or civil defense surplus. Since there hasn’t been any urgent need to wage biological, chemical, or nuclear war in Denmark, these have been abandoned in some warehouse without any toxic goo to wait for worse times. You won’t grow tentacles or develop a burning desire to murder all humanity as a Feral Ghoul when you get one of these.

Best €14,99 I ever spent. This bag is large and tough. The description says it may be made of vinyl but it seems like canvas to me. I dunno. I replaced the crappy shopping bags I had (which always eventually rip or tear and cause my groceries and adult diapers to spill out and publicly embarrass me) with this thing. I recently hauled about 8 1-liter bottles of water and wine in the bag, with plenty of room for more, without worrying that the bag might split from the weight. And when not in use it folds up small for storage. I admire the Danes for creating that Christiania place, but now I admire them more for creating this bag.

Great bag for daily on the go use. No fiddling with strings or zippers, just pop it open and quickly grab or stuff items. It fits my lunch, 5 days worth of unfolded clothes, a large water bottle, and safety helmet without issue.

Have not tested it much yet, but it seems pretty nice. The material is thick and is clearly solid, and it's convenient that the bag is simultaneously a backpack, sling bag and regular old bag. Looks as advertised, smells fine for surplus. The bag is larger than I expected, which is nice. And most importantly, it looks pretty cool.
