  In 1991 during &quot;desert storm&quot; many of us adapted map style cases to carry daily items. Great video!

  Mine is an old pants leg with worn knee. Ends sewn, folded in half, strap sewn on.

  I carry a haversack in the woods as well. It’s a great hunting companion. Instead of a pad though I carry a folded tarp and tent stakes for a shelter if needed. The important thing is to personalize your haversack for yourself and where you are.

  Growing up, my dad (Nam vet who grew up in the backwoods and worked a lot as a cross- country trucker) had a &quot;camping bag&quot; he made from a WWII surplus gas mask bag. Had an old Boy Scout flint and steel set in it, a cheap hunting knife, matches, and so on. It&apos;s been lost over the years, but it was already in bad shape and starting to fall apart. Last week, i found a gas mask bag that i think is the same style he had used, so i bought it and am going to rebuild him his &quot;camping bag&quot; as a gift. He still travels cross- country for work at the age of 80, so I know whatever i hand him had better be ready to work!

  Haversacks are my obsession. I keep an unflavored, waxed dental floss dispenser in mine to use for sewing repair. Stronger than thread. I have made so many for friends and relatives over the years.

  I love my haversack for carrying tools around the woodlot or when I want to go light on the trails. Humans have a habit of filling empty spaces and that includes their backpacks, so the haversack keeps overpacking in check.

  An Army surplus 2 1/2 ton will carry a lot of good stuff too.

  A little more cushion for the pushin’ was the phrase you were thinking of at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heCG91ANCKI&amp;t=340">5:40</a>, but was also very much not the phrase you meant 😂
