Abstract

The bag carrying harness is a carrying device that includes an elongated neck strap having first and second ends and at least two hooks, the hooks being attached to the neck strap above the first and second ends, respectively, in a lateral chest region of the elongated neck strap. Two shoulder loops are provided. One shoulder loop is attached to a side of the neck strap that includes the first end. The other shoulder loop is attached to an opposing side of the neck strap that includes the second end. A laterally extending torso strap is attached to each of the first and second ends of the elongated neck strap so that a user can cinch a portion of the device proximate the ends of the elongated neck strap about an upper body portion of the user.
