Title: Does anyone here own a Fred Asbell wool haversack? Looking for more info.
Post by: The-Talon on October 17, 2016, 08:11:00 PM
Hey guys so I've been in the market for a haversack of some sort when I'm bowhunting for day trips or half day trips. Does anyone have anymore info on the Wool Haversack he makes?? I can't find any more pictures or reviews on it at all!! It sais there is a double compartment construction I just wanna see how that works.. And how big the inside pockets are?

**Bonus points for Info on the Navajo quivers as well!!!** How does the inside look? Can they take broadheads?

I don't have pictures handy, but can tell you that they are very functional products.  Lots of room for everything you might need on day hunts with two main  pouches,  plus each has a small seperate pocket inside for smaller items.

Thanks sorry I didn't even think of running a search!

I usually carry around a litre of water with me, a small camera and some batteries. some pruning scissors, a grunt tube and some first aid things.. Think Asbell has the room for that?

It will hold that stuff with no problem. I really like mine and find it carries just enough. I think most guys will carry more the larger the bag is.

I love mine, it will carry more stuff than I need.

I have been using one for several years. It carries a lot of stuff, probably more than I actually need. It is handy, just put it over my shoulder and off to the stand. There is a  draw back. When you lean forward, it also slides forward, which can be very annoying. I have been considering attaching a hook to the bottom of my bag so it can be clipped to my belt loop so that it can't slide forward.

I like mine.  This is my first year with it. Yes it does go forward when you lean, like anything else you hang over a shoulder.  I guess you can add a clip to the belt, like an Arrowmaster quiver, or just get used to it and steady it with a hand.  

It carries more than enough stuff for a day of hunting in most places.

I am thinking you will be impressed with yours.

I like mine and use it for small game hunting mostly in the winter. Holds more than enough and I also have a black powder leather one and much prefer the quiet of the wool in brush.

The only problem with them is what Sam wrote...they tend to slide around if you don't keep a hand on them.
