Members crazytailorlady Posted June 15, 2022 Members Report Posted June 15, 2022 Wow! That looks gorgeous! Reminds me of a toolbag I have on my bike. I can imagine how much work went into it. Hope it lasts you long. Is it hand or machine sewn? Quote
PastorBob Posted June 15, 2022 Report Posted June 15, 2022 Great job on that. The dowel rod is a great way to close that up. Nice touch in skiving out where the flap folds over. I am sure it makes it a little easier to conform to the rounded top shape.

Its camping in woods and other areas that don't have camp sites. Just strap on your kit, walk to where you want to stay and set up your camp 1 hour ago, PastorBob said: Great job on that.

Members Constabulary Posted June 15, 2022 Members Report Posted June 15, 2022 Indeed very cool! I really like the stick closure. I would probably add a handle on the top side and a small leather loop on the stick where the strap in running through just for holding the stick in place. But thats just me...

The videos are kind of funny; it documents how they find really weird places to record where they find a camping space, sometimes in a parking lot, sometimes in the woods between highways,. Just really crazy. cheers! Quote

Now we have hobos, hitch hikrers, bicyclers, walkers, and about every other possible known traveler that are stealth camping. But the funniest, most ironic, of all our American stealth campers are those old folks who buy $500,000 dollar motorhomes then camp in our Walmart parking lots to save a buck.

They afford those $500,000 motorhomes camped out at Walmart because they figured out real ways to save $ rather than looking at the price of a leather belt and saying "I can make my own cheaper".

No strap. Its designed to be part of a backpack kit. So things like a sheepskin and then perhaps a bag of other camp gear with the top being the leather box. Quote
Members TooledByML Posted June 17, 2022 Author Members Report Posted June 17, 2022 So eventually I will make myself the packframe and replicate this kind of travelling camp kit. Quote
