         2 . The carrying apparatus of  claim 1 , having main top compartment receiving area comprising:
 an interior area for receiving larger main items comprising: helmet, boots;   a stiffened material in select areas to protect apparatus' received items or use of stiffener comprising:   canvas stiffener, nylon mesh, fabric stiffener, epoxies;   an interior or exterior pocket for receiving otherwise loose items comprising: cell phone, keys, wallet, make up;   a mechanism to attach other carrying/storage apparatuses or items;   wherein the apparatus to close a compartment comprises: zipper, loop and hook, buttons, flap(s).   
     
     
         3 . The carrying apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the main top compartment and bottom of bag are joined to form a single integrated piece. 
     
     
         4 . A bottom of the bag comprising:
 a durable material(s)/fabric(s) as to promote the ease of wiping down, washing, and/or cleaning the bottom of the be with each use.   
     
     
         5 . The method of manufacture of  claim 3 , wherein the main top compartment is joined to the bottom of the bag comprises:
 preparing bottom of the bag of material that is easily removed of UFM, and   selectively affixing a prepared main compartment with the bottom of bag to create one unit;
 wherein the join of the main top compartment and the bottom of bag preferred method is sewn, and may have the optional method that allows for the two joined compartments be separated; 
   wherein the join comprises: straps, zippers, buttons and button-holes, tie-offs, elastic that extends around a bottom of the bag, latches on either the main compartment or on the bottom of the bag that loop to ridged-like teeth on the other portion of the bag, or a combination of different joining methods placed in any order on the main top compartment or bottom of the bag (i.e. buttons are on the bottom of the bag and button holes are on the top main compartment or, the method may be reversed, buttons are on the top main compartment and the button holes are on the bottom of the bag).   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  and  5  to obtain the easy to wipe down, wash, and/or clean UFM on the material used for the bottom of bag comprises of any of the following:
 a single or plural layer of natural or synthetic fabric/fibrous material of a non-specified weight comprising: vinyl, leather, cotton, faux leather, patent leather; 
 a chemically treated or coated single or plural layer of natural or synthetic fabric/fibrous material of non-specified weight comprising: vinyl, leather, cotton, faux leather, patent leather;
