My traditional kit: canvas and leather!

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Lovely looking set up. I was jealously thinking "well we can't all have that kind of money to spend" but then I realised that I have probably spent double what that lot cost over the years buying crap and less suitable stuff (not that I have many regrets). I think If I had access to some nearby woodland that I could fully utilize I might switch to similar stuff. Sadly I have no where local that I can have many wood fires or make much in the way of shelters hence the need for more modern kit.

Cheers, I get a fiver a week pocket money, then Christmas and birthday presents, so I just save up- it's strange how it all accumulates! :)

As for the land, I reckon you could get permission, or you could even attend meets where you can do it but it's organised already :).
 
Very nice looking kit you got there bud and some moneys worth of quality goods! :)

I've been lusting after the same Frost River pack myself for a while now, Think I'm gunna order one in next month or so and build a nice traditional style kit.

Thanks for sharing :)

Cheers mate!

I'd say go for it as soon as you can, one of the best, if not the best, things I ever bought, I went as high as a kite the first time I got my hands on it, it's really special and I'm sure you'll love it! :)
 
Very nice gear, Cameron. Nice to know you use it too. I'm in the process of making my own canvas day pack to go with my range of pouches.

and aye as Sam says that'd be fantastic to see, I know you'll do a fantastic job! :)
 
Thanks, lads. I appreciate the vote of confidence, Cameron. I'm in the process of moving to an actual workshop, but with a bit of luck I might get it done in a couple of weeks. I'm having withdrawals at the moment; I havn't made anything in a week! :O

Thanks Stu and I know just what you mean about traditional kit :).

Also just added my candle lantern and pouch to the OP as I forgot about that :o.
 
Fantastic set of gear, very well chosen. You have almost piqued my interest in the Daniel Boone style kit. Very tactile, functional and gorgeous to observe. Congratulations on your fine collection.
