After some trial and error we came up with an adaptable combination that we think will work for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirstly we wanted to make sure that the bag was suitable for gathering food so we have chosen an uncoated cotton canvas in a medium weight hard wearing weave which won’t leach any undesirable chemicals onto your foods. Undo a press stud to remove the leather flap and the canvas bag itself can be hand washed and allowed to air dry thoroughly, keeping the bag and your food hygienic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is definitely a call to keep this convenient, compact bag on your belt using the built in belt loops but if you prefer, the self-contained design can be stowed in your pack or pocket. If you do keep it on your belt you can simply release the single press stud securing the flap to reveal a handy dump pouch. Alternatively undo the press studs at the base of the belt loops to release the bag and handle for a hand held option; the handle is big enough to slide onto your wrist if you want both hands free. A paracord shoulder strap is also included which can be trimmed to the desired length or removed if not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neat finish inside the base and blunted corners help prevent small berries and leaves from getting trapped. The bag will hold approx. 1.8 kg of solid foods such as apples or berries. If you use the bag secured to your belt as a dump pouch make sure your belt is snug to keep the belt loops in place. This bag is made to work perfectly with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.raymears.com\/products\/ray-mears-leather-belt\/\"\u003e Ray Mears Leather Belt\u003c\/a\u003e but will take belts up to about 5cm wide depending on the thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo pack away fold the sides of the bag to the centre of the front, then fold up in thirds towards the top, securing the leather flap to the central press stud on the handle where it folds up from underneath the bag. Use the press studs on the back to secure the belt loops in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our leather and canvas goods are hand-made by Woodlore's resident leather worker \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/raymears.com\/pages\/meet-the-woodlore-team\/\"\u003eBecky Brewster\u003c\/a\u003e, a craftswoman with decades of experience.
