The Viet War era duffle bags (called sea bags in the USN) had about 4 metal ringed holes around the edges. One of the metal ringed holes had a metal rod sticking out, it was about 2" or so long, and had an opening in which a padlock could go thru it. The GI stuffed the bag full, then tightened the opening containing all those holes; slipped 3 of those metal ringed holes OVER the metal rod, then slipped a padlock thru the opening in the metal rod. Now the bag was secured.

How do you make a ditty bag?

A ditty bag is a traditional type of bag, typically made of some type of canvas, that was used on sailing boats. It was typically the first project undertaken by a sailmakers apprentice and a good learning exercise as you needed to learn many of the tasks required of a sailmaker to make one; gromets, basic stitches, ropework etc. Once complete, the ditty bag was usually used to carry the apprentices tools such as a sailmakers palm, needles, thread, wax, serving mallet. A variation on the ditty bag is the riggers bag. Similar in its basic design, the riggers bag was usually larger in size and stood open on its onw by virtue of a wodden or steel hop sewn into the opening.
