Hide & Drink, Foraging Pouch (Collapsible) for Hiking, Treasures & Seashells Bag, Easy Looping Around Belts, Grocery Storage, Waxed Canvas, Handmade

I bought this after searching for a bag to collect rocks. I wanted something small enough to carry around even when I didn't think I'd need it, big enough to get the job done if it turned out I did, and nice enough to not look out of place on my belt when I went out in public. This seemed to fit the bill, and after using it a few times, I am suitably impressed. First things first, it's a genuinely well-made product. The leather is soft and supple, the waxed canvas is strong and sturdy, and the stitching is immaculate. Second, it's well-designed. It folds up nice and small when not in use, and can be easily unfolded without removing it from your belt. This leaves you with a decent-sized bag hanging neatly at your side, perfectly positioned to drop things into. And when you're done collecting, you can undo the snaps and take it off without needing to unbuckle your belt, and then just cinch the bag closed with the drawstring. Third, I appreciate that this isn't your typical mass-produced, disposable product that falls apart after a few uses. They say that it's handmade, and based on the quality I believe it. It even came with a nice card stating who made it and where it comes from. Let's face it, bags are both boring and easy to come by. If all you want is something to hold your loot, any old grocery bag will do. But if you want something a little nicer, with a little more functionality, that you can clip to your belt and forget about until you need it, I'd recommend this product wholeheartedly.

I bought this for myself as a Christmas present. Originally I had it in mind for hikes, but I have gotten the most use out of it when picking at the local orchard. I've picked large amounts of cherries, blueberries and blackberries into this bag and it has held up well and made picking much faster and easier since I had two hands free. (Exceptionally nice when going up and down the ladders while chasing cherries) I know the weight limit says 2lb, but the only time I've seen a "problem" with this was when the bag was very full (hard to tell how heavy, but probably around 3-4lb) and I jogged a few steps to catch up with other pickers. I was shocked when the bag fell off my belt (because I didn't remember the snaps and was just threading it onto my belt) I was mad thinking it had broken but was immediately impressed with the condition it was in after. No visible strain/ the snaps worked fine after, etc. I was then greatful that it would snap off rather then break under a heavier load and have only loved it since. I actively avoid putting damaged fruit in the bag, but when the blackberries left juice and seed stains on the bag I was unhappy, but a simple was by hand with cold water was enough to remove them. Wishing I had more foraging experience so I can use it more. 10/10 would buy again.

I came across this looking for a wallet belt for a Ren Faire cosplay when I discovered my stuff MIA a few days before I needed it. It looked like it would fit my needs & the price point was good so I splurged. Best impulse purchase in ages. I know it has all this functionality it’s meant for & it absolutely does meet all those needs. I just didn’t expect it to for the price. High quality, well made certainly worth more than I paid. (Super glad I didn’t have to pay more for it.). This will absolutely be a holiday gift for all the hikers & cosplayers in my circle this year. It’s the gift they don’t realize they need.

I have not had a chance to actively go foraging with this little pouch, but it seems to be perfect for whatever you desire as long as you don't squish purple berries in it. It is very small when folded and then opens up to about 8 x 9" of a waxy feeling canvas pouch which is probably quite leak proof. I like real leather, and this is real, thick leather, not some compound that falls apart. Nothing flimsy here, this is quality that will last.

Well the pouch was a bit smaller then I had hoped. It is a great addition to my foraging outfit though. Fit a decent amount of hazel nuts & such in this sac. Only issue I’ve had is probably do to my style of foraging. I tend to blaze paths off the trail through moderate to heavy under growth. This would belt pouch would be way cooler if it was a loop & not buttons. After 5 outings I’ve had to back track once to locate my pouch & once had my party companion behind me pick it up after getting dislodged by some vines. Thinking I’ll just make a second set of gear for light -moderate obstacles & toss it in that pile. Other then that the craftsmanship is splendid! Will also being using this as part of my Renaissance outfit.

I've only just received mine so I have not yet used it in the field, but the leather is quite supple, probably oiled leather. the canvas of the forage bag is fairly stout canvas with a waxed feel to it. I seem to recall the bag is 7" x 9" (the catalog listing gives the correct figure); you won't fit a bushel of stuff into it, but none the less, it's reasonably generous.

I love this little pouch! This is a quality pouch that I use when hiking in the woods or the beach. Quality made and durable.

I bought this as a gift for a rock hound, so I can only comment personally on its aesthetics--which are very good. It strikes one as pleasing and of good quality. (Sometimes inexpensive leather goods are only seem to be properly tanned on one side, and the back looks very cheap. But the leather here looks good on both sides.) For the price I was quite favorably impressed with the workmanship here. The recipient reports that this works well for the intended purpose--holding stones which may be wet or dirty. He seems glad for the upgrade from what he was using previously.

Excelente calidad del producto!!

I don’t usually leave reviews, so impressed with this though.

Genuinly quality product and exactly what i needed for foraging. There are a few similar things out there but not many look and feel as good as this.

Very well made. Can’t wait tell this coming summer to forage for roots and other wild edibles.

Es un artículo muy bueno, fabricado en México con materiales de muy buena calidad. Es útil para quien gusta de recolectar objetos como minerales, plantas o conchas y caracolas en sus caminatas por la naturaleza. Lo recomiendo.
