Re-worked Ticking and Barktan Bag
After some thought I decided to rework this pouch: http://ewingscreekpouches.blogspot.com/2013/09/ticking-barktan-bag.html.
I added a thinner strap of cowhide with an iron buckle, and a small homespun fabric pocket hanging inside for caps, balls, etc. I also waterproofed the ticking with a mixture of beeswax and boiled linseed oil. This was donated as a prize for the 17th Annual Shandakan Primitive Biathlon.
