Built a table this winter to fit into my 4th bay on a 13.5' Sotar so the kiddos had a more comfortable place to sit. Couldn't find a manufactured table that fit. Use maker pipe fitting and 3/4" conduit. 3/4" plywood routed out to fit frame. Sits over a drop bag that I also sewed this winter with pet screen from JoAnns. Legs clip into place with broom holder clips. Any input is welcome!

I am a person who enjoys making their own gear and I am sure many of you others are as well! Let's see those homemade drop bags, drag bags, tables, utensil holders etc. DISCLAIMER: I am not a gear company looking to rip your designs etc, just a guy who has a sewing machine and likes sitting in front of it!
Here are a few items I have made lately. Don't have any pics of my drop bags or gear bags but will try and get some.

What about something like this, just bigger? The bottom could be hard mesh plastic like a dog kennel flooring, and the straps could be heavier duty NRS type cam straps.
My preference on overnighter trips is what we have dubbed the "dungbeetle". We utilize a roller of plastic wrap made for wrapping furniture for moving. Before we leave camp, the last thing we do is compress the garbage int the bag as best as possible, then two people begin wrapping the garbage bag with the plastic wrap. 5 minutes later you have a water tight, compressed, ball of trash. No leaks, smells, and can stuff in any nook an cranny. Bocci ball loser takes all the dung rolls to the dump after the trip.
