Title: What is in Your Hunting Bag?
Post by: Tsalagidave on January 17, 2021, 11:12:59 AM

A new article that I am about to circulate. I know this is review to the old hands but we need this kind of content for the next generations.

The “Hunting Bag” of the 19th Century Frontier

What were the Basic survival Essentials Carried in the Frontiersman’s Hunting Bag? How it was better known as a ‘Bullet Pouch’ and why you should never call it a ‘possibles bag’.

Thanks for posting that article, Tsalagidave. I will also bookmark that site. Now I can avoid using that "possibles bag" term.

Interesting read,  thanks for sharing the link.  I actually just finished reading Ruxton's book, he led a very interesting although short life. I find it interesting also that the pull through bore brush is not a modern invention.(Bore Snake)

My bag is now my "bullet pouch!,   B.N.S.

I still don't have anything in my pouch, as I still need to make it.  This is great information, Dave!

Thank you for the replies everyone. Glad you like the article. I really try to focus on using references of publications that can be easily accessed by those interested in further reading.

I was talking with a friend and I think I will finally do the blanket roll. I have a nice homespun gray blanket with light blue bands that was loomed some time between 1785 and 1850. It's in pristine shape and I still use it on occasion.

Dave,

I've seen your hunting bag and I look forward to seeing and hearing about your blanket roll. Sounds like that blanket is a real piece of history. KOOL!
