Buy some leather snd give it a go. If you can do it out of pants you can do it with leather. I made one and it was way easier than i thought it would be

A haversack is not a purse. A purse is a small money bag. The word comes from bursa, and lives on in Bursar, the person who collects money at Universities or Colleges. It is also found in Disburse, distributing money for expenditures, and Reimburse, compensating for expenses incurred on behalf of another. Satchels, messenger bags, and courier bags serve different functions, the same as shooting bags, possible bags, and its predecessor, the market wallet, serve different functions. If I seem hung up on this distinction, it's because I'm a bag maker and I like big bags, I cannot lie, lol, great video!

Great video very informative. I’ve used a WW2 messenger bag as my haversack for the last few years. They are also great for orientated projects just pack those supplies needed. One other thing I do is use it as a foraging bag these bags are so versatile and inexpensive.

I used to make those “haversacks” as a teenager with the legs I cut off pants to make shorts. They weren’t waterproof but I used them to store and carry slingshot and ammo, a small crossbow pistol and bolts, my gun cleaning kit. Guys would tease me about my purse until I pulled out something cool and told them I made the bag for it. I liked to stitch by hand and didn’t want to waste good denim and whatever fabric dickies work pants are made of.

Having a Haversack or some sort of carry bag is always useful in the woods. If you subscribe to the 5 C’s or the 10 C’s of survival, choose a Haversack or carry bag that will easily hold all of those items and commit to always carry it with you whenever your in the woods. I have learned to carry a second Haversack whenever I am planning to stay in the woods overnight. This second bag carries a few more items and some food and cooking items. Works well for me. - Tennessee Smoky

Back in the days of the frontiersman they had what was referred to as a (possible bag). It not only carried the wading, lead ball's, cap's or flint's but fire 🔥 making parifanailia. Maby a strong mustard for cut's and scrape's or a strong alcoholic beverage or both some coffee grind's some hard tack or jerky or so on and so forth!!!

excellent. A good Awl option that I carry camping is a Speedy Stitcher- it's a wooden sewing awl that has a bobbin in it, and large needles suitable for doing leather, that packs all into itself. it can also take a standard sewing machine needle. It's got space to store more regular needles as well. I've used it for all kinds of repairs in canvas and leather and making knife sheaths. I think the large awl needles are big enough to stitch with bank line, though it comes with a big spool of thick waxed thread that's really quite strong. I know that's a little outside your bushcraft perview, but Absolutely worth looking into.

I use a re-useable grocery bag for the same purpose. I use it to sit on and to carry fish home (I put the fish in a plastic garbage bag first). I also keep a couple of these in my backpack. The material used for re-useable grocery bags is durable so I use it as repair material with the inner strands of paracord as thread. One thing about re-useable grocery bags is that in an urban environment, it does not draw attention. I can carry all sorts of things on public transportation and nobody notices.

I bought one of these bags two years ago and so enjoy it. In the winter, I use it to collect tinder while hiking in the snow to my day trip destination. I keep a Silky Saw in there as well. When riding my Harley, I keep it in a saddlebag and use it to carry fishing tackle, food and drinks as I fish long banks and streams. Sometimes wish the flap would stay shut but then again, I have never lost anything. To me, there is a “cool” factor that I humbly admit I enjoy....even though nobody ever sees me carrying the pack! Be well.

My hobby is reenactment. French and Indian War through the Civil War time period. I have found that a spool of waxed linen chord is essential in my haversack. It's my cordage, sewing thread, fishing line, ect. It has amazing tinsel strength, is very affordable at a leather working store like Tandy Leather, and will last for months as there is thousands of feet per spool.

I commented before that I found a used surplus Claymore mine bag that I had before as my pack, and then I made my own out of canvas to suit my liking. It's larger but not too large and the strap is the perfect length for me. I carry pretty much everything I need in it, more like a traditional long hunter. It has what I need to start a fire, my first aid kit, emergency blanket or two, rope, back up knife to what I carry on my hip, game bag during hunting season, back up compass to my primary, food for when I am out, drink, and whatever else I need. Once I started carrying these bags, never went back to a traditional backpack.

Great video. I have made a small one that is handy for gathering tinder or or misc gathered material. Honestly it was made more for practice of making a item rather than making an item i intended to actually carry/use. I'll make some the same size for my grand kids this year, while my practice one is untreated I'll waterproof theirs. What I wanted to say really was when I was a little kid I was taught the haversack was a food pouch. You would carry your ratios in it and add wild foods you gathered along the way. It would be slung over one should and a powder horn over the other. You would add a marble bag(do they even make those today? Lol) sized shot pouch and a fire pouch on you belt with your knife.
