A beautiful day to be out in Creation. This haversack never made it into production. Was a one off I had made myself, I absolutely love it. And of course the kit wouldn’t be complete without the RTS pukko.

Awesome dude, great page. I always enjoy working with small businesses, we have a different mindset than huge box store brands and try to keep things real.
This is a cool video of our brother from Keystone Bushcraft, and giving the Keystone Bushcraft signature hot tent stove pack it’s debut.
Looking forward to more ventures together brother!

Video is uploaded, Enjoy!

Knife fire kit

10/05/2022

FINALLY have an RTS knife 🙏 thank You Lord!

My vision with this kit was that of something that doesn’t look mass produced. Each knife will have its own character, and is built to last a lifetime.

Guys this fire kit is ready for pre order starting now! Full cost of entire kit including shipping to the continental US is $285.

Pre order is $100 deposit, $185 upon shipping.

I will only be doing 5 of these kits to start, minus the knife blade, I make everything else by hand.

Included in kit:

RTS camp pukko
1095 High carbon steel
8.5” in length
4.25” blade
Exposed pommel (use for fero rod, scraping bark, etc)
90 degree spine for scraping wood/fero rod.
Natural Olive wood handle w/cherry red liners & handle rods
Bow drill divot in handle

Hand made 8/9 oz leather sheath wet molded to knife shape
Large belt loop on back and removable dangler attachment (can hang lower on belt / on a pack etc)
Hand stitched with matching red waxed thread

Fire kit pouch w/genuine leather straps:
TIn with charred material for fire making
Few pieces of flint
Steel flint striker
Fat wood on para cord
Small fero rod
BIC lighter

Bonus pouch 🥳 to hold fire making material (tree bark, straw/ etc)

Hopefully you all know by now that RTS is a small little shop (me lol) nothing is mass produced, everything you see is made by hand, with material sourced in the USA. Build time on this kit is around 4 weeks.
As always, thank you all so much for the support, patience and encouragement.

Always thankful,
Rob

Simplicity simplicity simplicity is gorgeous. I wanted to build a smaller pack that can be used from an everyday backpack to a few days out in the woods.

I love building gear that is for camping but multipurpose items make good sense.

This bag features two removable side pockets (5”x5”x10”) and secure to the main pack with a system I made comparable to MOLLE webbing but all leather. A canvas drawstring closure on the main pack and side pockets, and outer canvas is hand waxed with a beeswax/paraffin and boiled linseed oil mixture giving it water resistance.

Would love to hear your thoughts

Always thankful,

This frame is from the late 70’s early 80’s I believe. Picked two of them up a few years ago and finally getting around to making something unique with it! Stay tuned 😁

So I was gonna keep this bag for myself, but that’s selfish lol and I have too many bags anyway.

As much as I really love this pack, I think I’m gonna sell it, get more fabric and build another project.

$185 and it’s yours, free shipping to the USA, international shipping will be based on location.

If ya want it, it’s yours 😁

Always thankful,
Rob
