Reviews Update

Ive gotten behind on reviewing things.I like owning a product for at least 6 months before writing about it. Ive owned a MSR stove for 18months and only just feel like I can really write about it.most of this year Ive spent in hospital. The last two weeks Ive only had two days out before returning with a virus and being placed on oxygen.I haven’t really had the time or the energy to get into the bush and test knives or other gear.

Frost River Haversack

Id been looking around for a traditional looking haversack for a while. Even tried making an oilcloth one myself. There were just little things I didn’t like with the designs. Mainly zips. I wanted it all brass buckles and leather over heavy canvas. The only two that came close were the Blackbird by Blackie Thomas and the Campcraft Outdoors. The shipping from overseas being astronomical. So I decided to modify a Frost River Book Bag knapsack.

Frost River don’t make a haversack and no longer make custom designs, the book bag was the same size as a standard haversack.
