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.
