new quiver and a couple random questions..
aero86:
so i had a tanned deer skin that a guy that hangs around here gave me. said it came from someone he knew in colorado about 20 years ago! it has a pouch attached to the bottom and a small nice on the side. sorry for the crappy picture, just easier to use my phone camera at the moment. not the best, but i think it came out ok. not really any certain style, just hangs just right on my shoulder.
now i have two questions.
1. what to put in the pouch? i figured id use it for kinda of a necessaries bag. i was thinking a lighter and some fishing line and a couple hooks. what else?
2. the gentleman also gave me some various size leather straps that he had in a shed. they are still in good shape, they are just moldy. anyway to save them? or is the trash my only option? if i made a bath of water and a bit of bleach, would it be ok? i dont know what bleach will do to leather. if it just changes the color, fine, but i dont know!
Josh:
I would put a tube of superglue, some extra field points, a couple of feet of serving thread, a rawhide patch, an extra bowstring, a taper tool, and a lighter in the pouch if it were mine. That should take care of any problems with your bow/arrows while in the field. Maybe a small knife if you don't already carry one of those in your pocket. :) Seems like I am leaving something out...
Grunt:
Extra bowstring, fire making stuff, a candle, 10' of small diameter strong cord, 2 power bars, large plastic bag, a pair of light vinyl gloves, a whistle and a Swiss Army knife.
aero86:
ohh, a swiss army knife. good one there. i already have a small in a deer skin sheath there, next to the pouch. kinda hard to see though. i think ill just get a good length of artificial sinew i have and see about all that other stuff i can cram in there!
sonny:
an extra tab, if that's what you shoot with.
