Last week I put together a new Haversack to hold my fire kit. It cost me time and materials I already had laying around the house. The main component of the bag was obtained from one leg of a old pair of duck work pants. Then with some salvaged webbing from old packs, a few grommets, Shoe Goo glue, dental floss, wax and a dose of time. it came together nicely. Just by folding up the bottom half of the pant leg, it created a 2 pocket bag with no extra cutting.
The inner pouch holds my Fire Steel, tins of tinder, Flint and Steel Kit, Mora Knife, Bic Lighter, and matches. The outer pouch will be for tinder and fire supplies I pick up along the trail.
After I had it all put together I gave it 2 good coats of wax followed by a hair dryer to water proof the material. I think I have about 2 maybe 3 hours of time in making it.
