This is a little haversack my wife, Chris, made up yesterday. It is 100% woolfelt, with some "cave art" on all sides.
This particular one is a simple design with one compartment and a flap cover, toggle/button to be added at some point. With the wide, contoured shoulder strap, It hangs wonderfully under the arm and should prove quite handy to have afield.
Post your thoughts please.

That's really nice looking! The "cave art" really adds to it!

Looks good to me! :thumbsup:
Very Nice! Let me know when you start selling them
I like it, I'd order one. :thumbsup:
Very nice. A zipper pocket on the back. Maybe an adjustable strap. Some pockets inside on the back. A bellowed bottom or something allows it to open a little more if extra stuff is put in.
I want one !!! When you gonna start selling them? Will you offer a pocket inside to keep some things seperate? Always thinking aren't you two. :thumbsup:
Awesome :thumbsup:
Good stuff! It was great to meet you today. When you get a bow out of the osage, please post a pic for me.
Like it, looks very practical, quiet & cool art.
I really like it, adjustable strap might come in useful.
That's awesome! I want one myself
I love it!
Very nice, :thumbsup:

Looks nice! I love the cave art.
Like others, apparently, my first thought was adjustable strap. I've used haversacks for years and I am very particular about where they ride. If not adjustable, maybe make the strap a little long so it can be cut and sewn shorter for those who want to 'fit' it.
Thanks for all the comments.
This particular bag was made for my wife to use at the shows she does, not to say it wouldn't or couldn't find it's way in to the woods with me. It is really a nice little bag.
My plan is to do just as you have all suggested,
internal pockets, gusseted bottom/multi compartments, and for sure an adjustable strap.
I am thinking of other options like a leather bottom, leather strap. Maybe canvas or nylon webbing.
Thanks again guys
looks good but I'd need it an inch wider than just two pieces flat together only so my fat fingers don't stress the threads when shoving my hand in..
a smaller pocket inside like the possible bags is priceless for small items. I'd buy one,,,, is this the same material your vests are made out of?
Ted, we use the same material for all of out products, the only difference will be the weight of the lay-up. This bag is very thick and sewn with heavy garment thread so it is tuff, But as I said this one is kind of "purpose built".
After next weekends show, I will be asking the boss to make a hunting version. Stay tuned for that.
Thanks for your comments. We will be working on the hunters version. It seems there might be some interest.
Thanks again
i like it :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Chuck,
Have your lovely lady sew in a divider on one side of the inside for your currers, saw, and knife. The othe side of the inside a pocket for extra bpwstring, tags, bowstringer, and fire starter. Add a couple tabs on the outside so you can lash your heavy coat on. Add some holes to the strap to allow adjustment and you will have perfection.
Sign me up for one to pick up at Kzoo and make sure there are a couple of the new zip bottle coozies with it!
Very nice!!!!
Chuck, i would stay away from the leather, just me, maybe use the nylon in the bottom to protect from holes.
it would be nice to have a compartment inside that can be securely closed to keep keys, wallet ect in.
That ought to work!
I would be interested in the Hunter Version! Be sure to let all of Us know please!!
I like it a lot. It looks cool and seems to be quite simple and practical.
Looks great!!! although I have a bit of an addiction to packs, sacks, satchels.. anything that can hold something else i want!! This is real nice though.. original, simple and effective!
Chris is a talented lady! Love the grey color with the cave art.... that would sell...
Very nice Chuck, some good ideas mentioned above. I would definetly keep the strap attachment across the whole top of the bag as it is. I think that will help the bag keep its shape better when you poke it full of goodies, as opposed to the strap attatched to the corners the bag tends to pucker with weight in it.

Right on Eric,
This bag has not seen any field time yet but it hangs so nice. I am anxious to work this design out.
Thanks to you all for the input. Good ideas and we appreciate it. Keep it coming.

Get one worked out Chuck and send it to me.
Better yet, you and the boys come for a late season hunt and bring it.
George
Roger that Geroge.
I'd be happy to field test one at Hunt Wild Things in SC Dec 6-8 ;)
They look good, but looking at the strap, is it made right and left or is it ambidextrious?
love the art. maybe a leather adjustable strap? and rounded out at the bottom just a bit so nothing gets stuck in those corners.
Thanks for all the comments and ideas. We hope to have some worked up soon. Keep the ideas coming and stay tuned.
What became of this idea?
Is it still in the works?
I'm kind of curious too, if no response check out the ones G.F. Asbell offers in his web. There is one 15"X12" for $39.95.
It might be just the thing for a days walk or hunt?
Thanks Frank. The Asbell is one I have my eye on, too.
Tough to beat the Asbell haversack for the price. The Bison Gear bag is also good, but a little more expensive. Looks like Two Tracks decided not to get in the haversack business.
Sweet!!!
:thumbsup: on the cave art!
Hey all, sorry for missing this getting bumped back up.
We did not decide against it Bill, We have been working on orders and finishing up some R/D work on other projects. these things never seem to go as quick as one would like. The Haversack is on the design table and getting the deserved time that it takes for us to work out bugs and to produce the item that we(and others) are looking for.
We have just made it through our lambing season and after a month of shows, we will be able to get back to work on new product design and construction. We will be sure to post up when we get to the point of debuting our new gear. Thanks again for all of the input and patience. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it in the end.
We like the Cave Art Ryan, we have done designs on many vests and framed wall art, as well as some other garment type pieces. Thanks
CTT
Chuck, does it come in pink Camo :p
A carabiner type hook would be nice so one could clip it to a belt loop. Like the one on a SafariTuff quiver. Not traditional but very functional. I been thinking about going with a haversack setup and would buy one with the upgrades mentioned by others.
Agreed on the carabiner!
Looking good Chuck! Been looking for a haversack for a while. Keep us posted, on the R/D.

Redshaft makes so good points. Maybe a inside pocket or make inside two equal size pouches.
I'm happy this keeps popping back up, apparently your bag is very well liked. Think they Will they be on the market for this season?
I love this haversack! The cave art camo (cac) is killer...would love to have one! I like your idea of a leather bottom and what others have suggested. Looks like it would be a big hit!!
How big is the pouch? Cave art looks like great camo.
:thumbsup:
very nice!
