WARREN MILLER'S SLEEPING BAG Part 1

One of the icons of Bushcrafting and Classic Camping is Warren H. Miller. Like most outdoorsmen of the early 20th century, Miller made most of his own gear as the Outdoor Industry was in its infancy and was catering mostly to Motor Campers. This is the first video in a series that was inspired by an article from the June 1919 issue of Forest and Stream that Miller wrote discussing his design of the Forester tent, a backpack that was also a winter sleeping bag, and a summer bag. We'll be using that article and a couple of other sources to make the summer bag, but we'll have to solve a bit of a mystery to do it.

I'm really thankful for all the time and effort you've taken to make these videos and share this kind of information with the world. It's really awesome to see how people used to do things before all the plastic junk flooded the camping market. It's really inspiring!

[@sargevining]

Thanks for watching! It is kind of rewarding to make or use stuff used 100 years ago by folks who were trying to figure out this whole recreational camping thing before it became a 6 billion dollar industry.

I would like to lay my hands on the 95 Winchester Warren is shown carrying. There is a good list of writers from that period that are not talked about much.

[@sargevining]

Yah, I need that rifle, too. Buzzacott is my favorite "forgotten" writer of the period, and quite an inventor, too. Thanks for watching!
