Abstract

A multi-compartment bag configured to objects specific to one or more applications is described herein. The multi-compartment bag comprises a housing having sides extending between a base and a top, a fastener, e.g., a zipper or snap, to connect the top to at least one of the sides, a panel releasably connected to the top, and two or more modular containers configured to fit within the housing. The modular containers sub-divide the housing into two or more compartments. The multi-compartment bag may further comprise an insert configured to hold an object within the modular container. The insert may include one or more cutouts that frictionally hold one or more objects.

       10 . The multi-compartment bag of  claim 9  wherein the top further includes a middle segment disposed between the top and bottom segments, wherein a second fastener connects the middle segment to the top segment, and wherein a third fastener connects the middle segment to the bottom segment. 
   
   
       11 . The multi-compartment bag of  claim 10  wherein said panel releasably connects to said middle segment. 
   
   
       12 . The multi-compartment bag of  claim 1  further comprising a hook and loop fastener configured to releasably connect said panel to said top. 
   
   
       13 . The multi-compartment bag of  claim 1  wherein said panel is configured to hold at least one of a firearm and ammunition. 
   
   
       14 . The multi-compartment bag of  claim 1  further comprising a self-supporting bottom compartment disposed beneath the base and having an access panel along one side. 
   
   
       15 . The multi-compartment bag of  claim 14  wherein the self-supporting bottom compartment is configured to hold a portable computing device. 
   
   
       16 . A multi-compartment bag comprising:
 a housing comprising sides extending between a base and a top;   a first fastener to connect the top to at least one of the sides;   a panel releasably connected to said top;   two or more removable modular containers configured to fit within the housing to sub-divide the housing into two or more compartments; and   a self-supporting bottom compartment disposed beneath the base.   
   
   
       17 . The multi-compartment bag of  claim 16  wherein the top comprises a pocket having a top segment connected to a bottom segment, and wherein the first fastener connects the bottom segment to at least one of the sides.
