Ideal for this prospecting equipment. Stick with waxed canvas with leather on the bottom and at some stress points. Plenty tough unless one is unnecessarily brutal to their stuff. We prospected all over eastern Wyoming, even where Chuck lives. Feldspars and quartz deposits, pegmatites. Flying and packing, horses and on foot, never wore out those packs. All leather is too heavy, just not ideal for either afoot or horseback. God bless Damn that water is coooold in the spring time up high !!!! LOL Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

MikeRock Posted July 11, 2022 Report Posted July 11, 2022 Yup Chuck, Cold and wet! We were up there when the Basque shepherds were moving flocks to the mountain meadows. We were heading up too, in our old Dodge Powerwagon.... finally said to hell with it and pulled over and set up camp. When we met up with them on top, they had moved two herds of 10,000 sheep each that week. Good old boys, we spent a few nights in their camp up on top. Mutton, potatoes and wine..... Good country, back in 1968'ish. You could see forever and touch the stars at night.... good times. Except for that damned wine.... monumental headache...... Staked a bunch of claims up there for quartz and spar. Found some gem quality beryl too. Still have a Bull Durham sack of good gemmy stuff.
