Keep your tinder dry and mould free.

These pouches are ideal for stashing that bit of tinder that you find as your foraging along the hedgrows. When empty they fold down in to nothing, and when full they will keep your tinder dry, mould free, and hold in any of those downy bits of fluff that have a tendency to fly off down wind at the 1st sign of wind!

These bags all hand made and hand stiched.

This is one of a range of natural colours available, if you'd prefer something that stands out on the woodland floor then check out the blue one! Just click on back to see more.

So what do our instructors think? Here Jason writes:

"It was at a very early age when I realised that plastic containers and tinder do not go together, as the vacume is heated it draws all the moisture out of the tinder to condense on the plastic... and then your mother shouts at you for storing mould in the garden shed! We asked for these leather pouches to be designed in order for them to be able to hold dry tinder and a fire steel, making a fantastic fire starting kit. 

Advantages: Water repellant, breathable, compact when empty and an ideal size for gathering natural materials sustainably

Disadvantages: Its not blue! Although seriously we have found these bags to be extremely tough, they are a good size for downy material and small fruiting bodies, but you would struggle to fit some of the larger bracket fungi inside them.
