CRAFTSMANSHIP:

The bag is custom made by a local craftsman, Fred, from his home, who has been in the camping industry for over 35 years.

These are made in small batches (3-5) so they are a top shelf item; just like a good whisky or rum. Reliability of stock will vary as Fred fits it into his retirement plans, why not!

Fred's work uses traditional folded and sewn seams plus solid 15oz canvas. The seams are double or triple stitched and stress points tacked for additional strength.  These bags are made to last and are a joy to use!

They look and feel great, old school craftsmanship and a big thank you to Fred for offering the opportunity to partner with him.

 Jimmy's Tip: We use the simple rubber straps with hooks on each end to feed through the tops channels and attached to our mesh rack.  You can use ratchet straps, rope or the custom seat belt webbing quick release straps.  Up to you and what you are comfortable with.  Also, like any canvas product, when you first receive it, give it a good soak a few times to help water resistance and dry in the shade.  The bag is for storing firewood which has naturally sharp edges. If transported on roof/trailer, it is likely that small holes may occur.  While canvas is water resistant, cannot guarantee it is waterproof, given the purpose it is for.
