Post by: BowPlinker on January 31, 2011, 07:32:00 PM
Heres a traditional style haversack I just recently finished for a friend to carry on hunts... Thought I would show it off for input   :)  
Its made of a heavy cotton wool homespun cloth and lined with brown walnut dyed linen and beeswaxed, all handsewn with linen thread. Contains a journal, knife and fire tin

Handy things.  I have three and you can keep an old towel in them to turn it into a game pouch.  Keep a few plastic bags to pack out a deer's heart & liver, or just load it up with your kit and cookware to roast a squirrel on a one-day "survival" hunt on the back hill.

Always good to know a source for handy items.     :thumbsup:
