A "New" Possibles Bag.

[Adam Helmer]

I needed another possibles bag so I could set up one for flintlocks and the other for percussion. Naturally, a possibles bag needs to be made of leather for the authentic look. Last Saturday, I was on my way to the local shop to buy a new bag for about $40. It would do, but did not have internal pockets and compartments to better organize stuff. I stopped at a church yard sale and saw a table full of leather purses priced from $.50 to $1.00. One was in excellent shape with the internal zipper pockets to suit my needs. The lady sold me the purse for $.25, even though it was marked $.50. Yard sales are fine places to find lots of useful stuff for us buckskinners.
