“Possibles” bags first gained their name and popularity amongst the mountain men, pioneers, and frontiersman of the American Old West. A possibles bag was a bag or container in which one carried all items — other than shooting supplies — that were necessary for survival and/or needed to be close at hand. Possibles bags remain in use today by naturalists, hikers, hunters, and others (though are sometimes known by a different name).

In the 18th and 19th centuries, mountain men, minutemen, frontiersmen, and black powder hunters of all kinds would usually be found with two bags slung across their shoulders: their powder horn and their “possibles bag.” It was so-named either because it contained everything you might possibly need for the day, or because you could possibly find most anything packed in the bag. As with the ditty bag, the contents of a man’s possibles bag varied by taste and necessity.
