The exterior pocket is attached to the bottom of the wall of the bag and has a top edge extending across the width of the wall. The top edge of the exterior pocket is located a height from the bottom of the wall. The height of the top edge of the exterior pocket is greater than the height of the seam of the interior pocket. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A bag comprising: an interior pocket attached to a wall of the bag along a seam that is stitched across a width of the wall, the seam being located at a height from a bottom of the wall; and an exterior pocket attached to the bottom of the wall of the bag and having a top edge extending across the width of the wall, wherein the top edge of the exterior pocket is located a height from the bottom of the wall; and wherein the height of the top edge of the exterior pocket is greater than the height of the seam of the interior pocket. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The bag of claim 1, wherein the wall that the interior and exterior pockets are attached to comprises a side wall that opposes another side wall, each side wall having top edges located at substantially similar heights, and wherein the heights of the top edges of the side walls are less than a height of the bag. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The bag of claim 2, wherein each of the opposing side walls comprises a tab that provides an attachment component for receiving an end of a carry strap. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The bag of claim 1, further comprising an open top that is cinched shut with a bag drawstring partially enclosed within at least one drawstring channel, one of the drawstring channels being attached to an interior of the wall that the interior and exterior pockets are attached to with a bag channel seam and being proximate a top edge of the bag. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The bag of claim 4, further comprising a stuff sack including a top edge, a bottom edge and a sack drawstring partially enclosed within a sack drawstring channel, the bottom edge of the stuff sack being attached to the interior of the wall that the interior and exterior pockets are attached to along the bag channel seam. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The bag of claim 1, further comprising a front wall and a back wall, wherein attached to an outer surface of the front wall is a primary handle and attached to an outer surface of the back wall is a primary handle that is substantially similar to the primary handle attached to the outer surface of the front wall, wherein attached to the outer surface of the front wall is a secondary handle and attached to the outer surface of the back wall is a secondary handle that is substantially similar to the secondary handle attached to the outer surface of the front wall, each secondary handle including attachment points that are located between attachments points of one of the primary handles. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The bag of claim 1, wherein the wall that the interior and exterior pockets are attached to comprises a side wall that opposes another side wall and wherein the bag further comprises a front wall, a back wall and a bottom wall with the bottom wall and the opposing side walls comprising a single panel of material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The bag of claim 1, wherein the wall that the interior and exterior pockets are attached to comprises a side wall that opposes another side wall and wherein the bag further comprises a pair of exterior through channels having first open ends and second open ends, wherein one of the pair of exterior through channels is attached to an outer facing surface of the side wall and the other of the pair of exterior through channels is attached to an outer facing surface of the opposing side wall. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The bag of claim 1, wherein a depth of the interior pocket is substantially similar to a depth of the exterior pocket. ### Claim 10 A bag comprising: a bottom; four sides that define an upper edge of the bag; a cord extending along all four sides of the bag and being located proximate to the upper edge of the bag to cinch the upper edges of the bag together, the cord being partially enclosed within at least one sleeve that is attached to an interior of the bag by a sleeve seam;
