Looks great. Does the pouch open up as photo shows? Clever. Like the axe.

I like them both.

Any chance on more details on the pouch so I can make one? Looks pretty dang useful.

Wow! Thanks for all the interest and replies.

The Forager Pouch can be used for anything really, the idea being that you would wear it on your belt as an easy to get to extra pocket. So if you were out walking and came across a black berry bush and the fruit was ripe for the picking then you could unfold the pouch and stash them safely. Or if you were wild camping you could collect tinder and keep it safe for later.

The details

The pouch is a 9" x 9" pocket simply stitched to form a square (I guess it could be an oblong) made from Hood canvas (as I could not source any waxed canvas). When it is folded in to its leather roll the dimensions are approx 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches.

I used a 6/7 oz piece of leather for the pouch and the main piece is 8 1/2 x 3 1/4

The pouch is sandwiched between 2 bits of leather and stitched through both. The inner bit is approx 2 1/2 in sq. The belt loops are also caught by the same line of stitching as it gave a nice clean look. The inner patch can be seen in the pic below and the belt loops in the following one.

Is that enough detail? If you want more just ask.

Richard,

Thanks for detailing that out. I'm going to give making one a shot. It's one of those things you see and wonder why everyone doesn't have one. Plus it's one more use for the smaller leather chunks piling up in boxes.
