Hmmmmm. Sorry the pocket is on the foot of the bag, not the bottom. So as you are sleeping, the pocket is in a vertical plane normal to your back. Like, if you poked your feet out, they would be in this pocket. Its ummmmmmm not more than say 10 x 6 or so. It is NOT a pocket on the ground-facing face of the bag.

I figure if I pick up enough 30-06 brass at the range...Ill just "have" to buy a garand to shoot it out of, I mean I allready have the dies. Haha. Not till the semesters over and I go back to work!
