Plans for a Haversack ?

<< < (3/3)

johnston:
To damn much running involved to test the theory so I 'll take your word for it John.

Makes sense, thank you.

Lane, here are a few pics of the haversack that was made for me by my partner in the leather shop probably 35 or more years ago. I believe it is the same height and width as the original haversacks. This bag is 10" high, 14" wide(across the front) with a 7" gusset.   We made them with different width gussets determining the thickness of the bag.  We also used 6oz oak tanned leather. I'm not sure what the originals were made of. I have made 2 or 3 different smaller versions of this design that you saw as possibles bags and a few using garmet leather for a softer bag.

johnston:
Thank you sir, I really like that.

I am doing a lot of woods walking this year. I knew I was gonna be on medical leave for a couple months so I really
made a point of locating a bunch of public land that was unknown to me. Leave the truck and make a circle, half day , whole day
depends on the country. Don't kill much but as you know, that ain't the point.

An easy to wear sack makes toting the little incidentals a breeze and will add up to more exploring and adventure.
But you know that.

Bryce H:
Great lookin' bag, Lane. You too, Pat.
