These are the Swedish side pouches that usually go with the LK rucksacks. When i bought them, they were part of a yoke system, to be attached to a belt via metal hooks. https://ibb.co/jaC88Q I decided to MOLLE them instead of direct sewing of the pouches on my LK35. Reason is I want to have...

The pipe has been bought, but the leather stand i made by myself. I repurposed an old black belt. https://www.dropbox.com/s/grlassrfkb3vn17/Screenshot_20170625-092951.png?dl=0

Hm, you are right - if you start with already cut wood pieces for the bowl and the stem. Nice idea for a project.

Beautiful. I want one too! I am wondering if there is a less industrial way fo make them by hand. Imagine having the knowledge that you are holding in your hands is something that you've built on your own. Creation is beautiful!

Got it, thanks.

This is exactly why I joined this forum. I wouldn't have thought of heat/cold tolerance as a factor. Dry bags I will get definitely. I was thinking of these sprays as an extra layer of security, but perhaps it isn't really necessary and one could rely on dry bags alone? I wasn't going to use...

Plasti Dip and Flex Seal are the ones I have found so far. They both appear to use the same technology, just different brands. My aim is to waterproof the contents of rucksack, pouches. I would say I want to protect the rubber because it will keep the contents dry. Protecting the fabric is...

I've discovered the synthetic rubber coating sprays and they appear to be very promising for waterproofing pretty much anything you need to. I am wondering if there is a reason why in all videos I've found, the coating is applied on the external surface of the material. It would make much more...

Indeed it would have helped. Not too worried, though. This project was practice for my previously non-existent hand sewing skills. Thank god for the speedy stitcher by the way. I have a swedish LK35 which I will mod extensively by adding side, front pouches, waist belt, yoke, etc. I had to start...

I've just finished sewing molle webbing on my Highlander medium haversack. Did it from scratch, meaning 1st molle attempt and 1st hand sewing attempt in general as well. No straight, smooth lines, but I believe it will do its job. It is certainly very sturdy. For the binding straps I inserted...

I am new to this forum, modding and bushcraft in general. I have recently bought my 1st "serious" backpack and am on the lookout about info on how to mod it. This forum looks very interesting with a lot of information offered.
