I'm looking for inspiration for something a little more rangeresque for carrying my pipe tobacco in.
Could I trouble you good folk for some suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Re: pipe weed pouches?
I've seen people use a regular draw-string pouch, and I know that it was common, including Professor Tolkien, for people to have sort of leather envelopes.

Re: pipe weed pouches?
OK...damn! and I was just about to release the one I had been working on!
Yeah I saw these a few weeks, (weeks, months?) ago and have been working on one and trying to think up uses for the "pyrography on leather technique", on which I think I have made some interesting progress. I certainly can make the map tobacco pouch in any local map you might like, but aside from journals and wallets, I am also working on a line of Tankards that have the same map type sleeve with the Shire as the background, and a leather medallion with the particular favorite pub sign on it.(I have the Prancing Pony, the Mad Badger, the Comb and Wattle, The Golden Perch, The Plow and Stars, The Floating Log, The Green Dragon, The Ivy Bush and The Bird and Baby, so far) The Inn League Pub Crawl series was what was holding up the release. (I am trying to find a steady source of 18 - 22 oz ceramic or stoneware tankards to be able to have a steady supply, if anyone has a line on those please let me know!) If you like the pyrography map idea, let me know of your suggestions for applications a ranger could use it for. I was thinking of the World War II Bomber jackets with the map lining when I saw it and how a map could double as decoration for a functional item. In the mean time, before I release these on my Website, drop me a line if you are interested in any of the above. (orders that come from the MERF site enjoy a substantial discount of course!):mrgreen:
