Maybe your old camp box is showing its age. Maybe you want to pack your gear in a period‑correct piece without worrying about what’s exposed or visible. Maybe you appreciate fine details and solid stitching. Maybe the time has come for a portmanteau.
This one measures a generous 19” × 9” and is built from 13 oz bridle leather, doubled on each end for strength. It’s not going to collapse under pressure—unlike some of us on a steamy day.
The handle is reinforced with rope for stability and finished with baseball stitching. The ends are secured with a box stitch that stays protected from interior wear, and even the body is joined with a butt stitch for the same reason: durability without compromise.
This is a thoughtfully designed piece with professional touches throughout. It will serve its owner well now and for generations to come.

Both Jeff and Shelly are reenactors who began by creating items for themselves. They attend many living history events a year. In their free time they piddle around their farm where they make wines, ales, and fill their pantry with home-canned items. They can be found hunting, trapping , and fishing. Sometimes, they incorporate their trophies in their custom work.
