The Ray Mears Leather Dry Food Pouch is based on a traditional Sami design just like our smaller spice and coffee pouches and is a beautiful and practical way to protect, transport and store larger quantities of powdered and granulated food stuffs. Ray has been using a version of this style of leather storage pouch for many years in his travelling brew kit and often in his expedition camp kitchen.
Made from a fine grained, tactile calf skin in a rich dark chocolate colour, these large pouches are perfect for taking rice, flour, oats and more into the woods for some outdoor culinary action.
The rounded shape of the pouch aids access to the contents – less rummaging in corners. The generous size will accommodate up to 3.5 litres allowing you to pack a variety of dried food staples into this mobile larder. These luxuriously soft pouches are also more packable than hard canisters, squashing down to the size of the contents to avoid carrying unnecessary bulk. The flexible shape can be packed into convenient gaps and pockets once the contents have been part used.
The neck is closed by way of the attached 'self-gripping' twisted leather cord, more effective and easier to use than a flat leather tie. The leather swing tag carries the Ray Mears 'snowshoe' logo and is left undyed on the reverse to allow you to write on the pouch contents if desired.
Please store your foodstuffs in plastic food bags within the leather pouch; the hide helps to protect the contents from punctures and spills.
All of our leather and canvas goods are hand-made by Woodlore's resident leather worker Becky Brewster, a craftswoman with decades of experience. For an insight into Ray’s ethos on our leather goods, please view our Leather Goods page.
