My belt pouch is on me all the time, even at night when I lay aside my tomahawk & hunting knife. The belt pouch contains my greased leather fire-bag, which in turn contains my tinderbox & a little small kindling & a beeswax candle.
Also in the belt pouch is my brass sundial compass & my fishing tackle in a brass container.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Nice functional pouch, also good to see someone else carring a hand ax and hunting knife. I love the feel of a good steel sword in my hand, but I find it's not as useful.
In the darkest part of Sherwoods glade, in the thickest part of the wood, there are those who say, can still be seen, the ghost of Robin Hood.

Re: My Belt Pouch & Contents.
In the early 18th century in the New World, the militia had to carry a sword as part of their equipment. But later on this changed, & they were told they could carry a tomahawk/axe instead of the sword. Obviously in the woods a belt axe/tomahawk(the tomahawk was a trade axe) is far more versatile than a sword.robinhoodsghost wrote:Nice functional pouch, also good to see someone else carring a hand ax and hunting knife.

These are the blades I carry at all times in the woods. The smaller sheath knife is my legging knife.

Great looking set, Thanks for sharing. I'll take functional over fancy any day.
