Bushcraft quiver and haversack

[TrooperChuck]

I really enjoy traditional archery and have been wanting to make this new quiver for quite a while.  The quiver has two shoulder straps so it can be worn backpack style.  It also has a couple extra D-ring attachments so it can be switched to a single shoulder carry or a hip carry.  The pocket on the front of the quiver contains a small metal tin in which I store an extra bow string and some basic survival gear.  (Matches, tinder, a small folding knife, etc.)

The quiver has two buckled straps on each side for strapping on a lightweight bedroll and a small axe to be used on overnight bushcrafting trips.

For the haversack I made one half of a 1920's model U.S. Cavalry saddle bags.  I modified the front flap, eliminating the standard billet and buckle arrangement, so I could latch/unlatch the flap with one hand.  I also stitched a couple of small patch pockets on the inside. The haversack is big enough to hold a small cook pot, a drinking cup, a small alcohol cook stove, some food, and assorted personal items.  All in all, I'm quite pleased with this set-up.  It gives me the ability to carry some minimal overnight gear when I get the urge to go for a trip into the woods with my longbow.

Here's a view of the quiver with bedroll and axe attached.

That's a good looking quiver and I love the bamboo backed bow!
