The Outdoor Adventure Giving you tips, tricks & recommendations to help make adventuring in the Outdoors fun, safe & exciting for you and your kids.
I’m always looking for new skills to learn and new hobbies to try out, and one of my favourites right now is leather working. My wife was looking for a shoulder bag for carrying some larger items, so I decided to sit down with her and draft up a plan. After chatting about dimensions, features, etc I went to work with the cow hide I’ve had sitting around with me.
I’ve made belts and sheaths for my knife, but I wanted to do something bigger. This project was a big task to undertake so I worked at it in free time, when I needed a break from my schedule and in a week or two I had it finished. It took a bit longer as I decided to pull out a video camera to document the “making of”. Now that it’s all done if people are interested in how I did it, I might be able to put together some DIYs.
