New Hiking Sporran
Tired of worrying about my good leather in the fickle summer weather, I decided that it was time to make a contempo-synthetic sporran for hiking duty. I looked at the Stillwater Nightstalker, but I like to do things myself as much as possible.
I found this item on the sale table at the local outfitter. An Eagle Creek "Guide Bag". Measurements about 8" wide by 10" high. Lots of zip pockets and a big flap over the front. Shoulder strap attached to the sides in the usual manner.

Here it is after I modified it. I removed the shoulder strap, added a buckle, and used the surplus material for the loops on the rear of the bag. Two homemade tassles on the front and a quick leather flap and I'm all set.
