The Bear Essentials

[Robin]

I just received two waxed canvas pouches from this company, perfect fit for my more traditional outfit. I also ordered a buck saw carrying case made of waxed canvas.
I like the pouches as they have belt loops so you can attach them to your belt when you go out berry picking or tinder gathering. Another use will be to carry my SPOT X and bear spray while on the portage trail. They will also be useful when hung from the interior frame of my small wall tent for keeping items neatly at hand.

Thanks for this small scale retailer heads up, Robin. I believe you introduced this forum during your administration. The company also has a page with informative how-to videos:

Yes, that was my idea back when, I thought it would be a good way to support the smaller craftsman out there who don’t have a big advertising budget. Word of mouth only goes so far.
I’m waiting for my pack saw carrying case. Unfortunately I believe my old SchmidtPack Saw might be a little too long for this case after reading more on the website, but I’m pretty sure I can make a few adjustments to make it fit.
After looking at how they are made, I’m going to make some more pouches for my wall tent and canoe. I use shower curtain hangers now to hang most everything in the wall tent but I have always wanted to make it a little neater, those pouches will come in handy.

I like these things too - but to buy is not a option for me.

So - I make it by my owen

I received my pack saw carrying case today. It’s made for a slightly smaller pack saw built by the owner of Bear Essentials and I knew that when I ordered it, but, if I move the cover snap one inch my old Schmidt Pack saw fits nicely.

No affiliation, but PNW Bushcraft is another great waxed canvas vendor. They make a solid cook kid bag, with pouches sewn on the outside that hold lighter, spork, knife, whatever.
They also make a really good folding foraging pouch. I wear one a lot - drop my nalgene, my computer charger, etc into it if it's not blueberries or vegetables.
