More Yard Sale Leather Possibiles Bags.

Today I went yard saleing and paid $1.00 for a nice black Wilson leather purse with a neat long shoulder strap. This nicely doubles as a possibiles bag to replace my first leather possibiles bag, circa 1985, that has a broken zipper. I trekked many happy miles with the old bag and will keep it in the Museum. The Cabela's Catalog lists leather possibiles bags for $55.00 to $75.00+. I am gathering leather purses for 50 cents to $1.00 each. I will soon have enough, I reckon.

I have enough bags to share with newbie muzzleloaders, and I have to keep adding to the heap.

Adam

Just curious, does anyone look at you funny when you scarf up all those purses and sling them over your shoulder? Don't get me wrong, the purses can serve a useful purpose as a possibles bag for muzzleloaders. Take care...

Guys,

You are killing me, LOL! My only high heels are ice cleats to get around the farm. I don't use cleats in Summer.

There are lots of nice leather purses without zipper closures for a dollar or under that compare to the $75 Cabela's leather possibiles bags. I never pass up a 50-cent or dollar leather bag and donate many to fellow ML shooters.

Adam

Adam;
I'm glad that you can take some good natured ribbing from some of your friends here at "huntchat"......we're glad that you have the ability to think 'outside the box' with re: to traditional muzzleloading, as well as sharing your passion with other folks.
Keep up the good work!
