I received a catalog today with this gem in it. It occurred to me that it might be something a 21st Century Indiana Jones might carry. It is called a "Fatboy" and is made by Maxpedition. I often wondered why valuable stuff didn't fall out of Indy's musette bag.

It occurs to me there might be other modern equivalents ti Indy's garb and gear.

I beg to differ.

musette
(noun) 1 : a bellows-blown bagpipe popular in France in the 17th and 18th centuries; 2 : a small knapsack; also : a similar bag with one shoulder strap -- called also musette bag

A gasmask bag can be more generically referred to a "musette bag" especially when it is no longer used to carry a gasmask.

"Exactament" as they say where the word was invented.

actually, they'd probably rather say "exactement". ;) and as far as my knowledge of french serves me, i'd bet that the "mu" sound is closer to the y in "syndrome", but while we have the "ü", i suppose there is no real english sound for musette. :)
