I've actually done a video on my channel before making one of these. This is a bit more of an updated version. I did however make a mistake and did not need to punch the extra hole (you will see what I mean when you watch it). Still, for those that were wondering how I make my tinder bag/pouch, this is how. Cheers!
First let me say I enjoy all your content. Since finding your channel I have been Binge watching back episodes. Although I love the bag, on a strictly survival sense a simple Tupperware type container would be water immersion proof. I'm still going to make some of the bags!
A great return to SHED SUNDAY! The tinder pouch appears to be the ideal starter project for working in leather. As you point out, the inside of your shed is jam-packed but neat; not cluttered. The lighting is good for the video.
Great tutorial! I'm going to make this and give it to my father for Christmas. Lifehack: the screw driver method is just fine but I used a big plate to draw the circle.
I am comment 155... yes. I am grateful TA, I am waiting on my puncher and string right now. I have 3 leather pieces waiting and will be completed in next 2 weeks. I love the tutorial. I can and will do well. Thank you.
After watching this video I successfully made a great tinder pouch. Instead of making a antler stopper I lathed a wooden one.Thanks for the very helpful video!👍👍👍
Literally just made one out of old sofa leather and it works a treat, thank you for sharing I'll definitely make plenty of these and hand the knowledge down to my children :)
Mike, I miss the old "Tinder pouch toss" you always did before starting your fires. please bring back that.. it truly was a great little piece film. thanks for another great video. as always.. Cheers! ~Dustin Passage
Really great video Mike. I was just watching some of your older videos and it nice to see how much your production values have improved over time. You’ve also inspired me to get out there in the woods and have some fun with bushcraft. Keep it up!
always love watching ta with my misses by myself or in the morning having breakfast before i go off to college and starting off to mikes voice and content...hard to compete with how good tht is
One way to help the bag "to find its shape". Damp the leather with water first, then load it full with something soft (pieces of cloth, towel etc.) to the maximum load. Close the pouch, make sure that all the folds in the leather are folded the way you want, and the just let it dry. Once wet and then dried leather will keep the shape it dried into quite well.
Thanks for another great video. Talking of tinder, I went for a day hike today and used birch bark as tinder to make a fire (for a cup of coffee) for the first time. Looking to go on my first wild camp next year. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration 👍
I just found you. I enjoy your channel, especially your smart way of doing things. I agree with a point you made a while back about putting the phones down. Nothing like a skilled nature boy.
Great tutorial video as always, your videos have came such a long way. Not that they were ever bad in the first place. I’ve been watching since the beginning and your channel is just great! I always look forward to getting notifications that taoutdoors uploaded a new video!
Cool stuff Mike. I could use one or two of those myself. Keep all my fire tools in a small one, one a bit bigger for tinder, and the other pouch. Would be cool to have on a belt also. Thanks again Mike!
Awesome video as always. Another good way of doing the circles like I do it a large round waiters tray. There perfect size and easy to just hold and Mark round. Atb john
I'd like to know in which part of the UK you're building your bushcraft camp, because that forest seems to be very flat and all the trees are very straight. (I'm sorry for my very bad english but I love bushcraft and I am 14)
Awesome project. One suggestion if I may. Replace the rubber band for your birchbark with jute twine for yet another source of tinder, just a suggestion.
hi there is a style that looks like a pear fruit used to be for money/coins if I remember correctly it's made from many pieces of leather it has a circle as a base then there are long flat pieces sewn together I hope that I described it correctly but it is so beautiful looking pouch/bag I don't know if you know how to make it if you do would kindly make a post teaching viewers how to cut and make thank you
Great video! Love hand-crafted items. *Reminds me: Did you ever make a video using the hand-crafted hobo hand line you got as a gift? I saw you discuss it in an old video but haven't seen a video of it in use.
Tobacco pouches could be 'pursed' with a leather thong, secured by a slider. I am familiar with two types of tobacco pouches, both of which are lined with things like silk and rubber or 'rubberized' sheeting. A typical closure is like Mike's elastic snap closure only mine were made long ago and used a metal spring set. Most of my pouches are zipper closed with a baffle behind the zipper to keep moisture and aromatics inside. Regular pipe smokers can be less fastidious, using a small pouch to keep a daily amount of tobacco on their person and relying on a humidor for refills as needed. Or, these days, one could use a ZipLoc bag insert into a leather pouch with a lace and toggle.
i like this video there just so happens to be a large pile of leatherette sheets up the attic...left by a previous tenant....i'll make one of my own a use and notebook paper punch.....thz mike for posting
LOL i’m sure people that walk about in buckskin Pants would love one of them It reminds me wen I bumping into somebody in woods in Scotland he was dressed a bit of like a caveman ! Attempting to wild camp for 3 days I had to give him some food and start his fire for him and in the mornings how him the way back to his car He told me his 3 mates only lasted 8 hour ! LOL it takes All sorts ! Nice vid and good editing Best Regards 👍😀🐾
Great video Mike 👍 I've already made 2 from your other video 😁 but I have trouble in getting hold of leather 😢 love Shed Sunday ☺ & also 🌲TA outdoors🌲 & Friday's is 🦈TA fishing🦈 😁 👍
When you'd drawn the circle (Or even before that) why didn't you change the size, could have easily got another inch or two all the way around on that bit of leather. Unfortunately I got a load of leather sheets offcuts a while ago with this in mind but I mistook inches for cm... Ended up with a whole stack of leather 15x15 cm lol
I've actually done a video on my channel before making one of these. This is a bit more of an updated version. I did however make a mistake and did not need to punch the extra hole (you will see what I mean when you watch it). Still, for those that were wondering how I make my tinder bag/pouch, this is how.

I made this exact pouch with your old video! Cool update
Nice job
That's a great idea! Thanks for this video and greetings from Germany...🖒

이분은 참 다양하게 볼께 많아서 좋단말이야...부시크래프트와 우드크래프트, 파이어크래프트...그리고 이런 가죽 파우치 만들기부터..낚시...나이프, 톱, 파이어아이템...백팩...쿡킹셋 등등 리뷰도 다양하고 굿..
Great tutorial! I'm going to make this and give it to my father for Christmas. Lifehack: the screw driver method is just fine but I used a big plate to draw the circle.
Nice job, can never have too many pouches, a good thing to do is use different coloured Paracord so you know which one you're opening 😉👍
I am comment 155... yes. I am grateful TA, I am waiting on my puncher and string right now. I have 3 leather pieces waiting and will be completed in next 2 weeks. I love the tutorial. I can and will do well. Thank you.
Love these videos it's like Christmas morning everytime

BRING BACK SHED SUNDAYS!!!!
Excellent video mate! Thanks for everything you’ve done 🙏🏼 You have one of the best channels on TH-cam and I love it.
I think one made of waxed canvas would be aesthetically pleasing.
Definitely time for another Shed Sunday
Great little starter project for getting into leatherwork!
I'm really enjoying these quick and easy DIY projects Mike, keep it up.
Mike, I miss the old "Tinder pouch toss" you always did before starting your fires. please bring back that.. it truly was a great little piece film. thanks for another great video. as always.. Cheers! ~Dustin Passage
your videos are amoungst some of the most enjoyable on youtube
I followed your instructions and it made it easier.Mine came out nice.I used a deer antler button for the toggle.
Really great video Mike. I was just watching some of your older videos and it nice to see how much your production values have improved over time. You’ve also inspired me to get out there in the woods and have some fun with bushcraft. Keep it up!
Great little project. Simple and anyone can do it!

excellent tutorial I am liking Shed Sunday more and more.

I definitely would suggest this little project to my son, thank you~ :3
Awesome video thanks mate
you're a bloody legend mate!!
Love the pouch and the 🦉.
I like the bag you make, very simple but beautiful, I like it
Cool. I’m going to have to try this out! Thanks for sharing.
I just found you. I enjoy your channel, especially your smart way of doing things. I agree with a point you made a while back about putting the phones down. Nothing like a skilled nature boy.
Really nice tinder pouch. Have an awesome Sunday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Offgrid.se many thanks! You too
Great tutorial video as always, your videos have came such a long way. Not that they were ever bad in the first place. I’ve been watching since the beginning and your channel is just great! I always look forward to getting notifications that taoutdoors uploaded a new video!
Great video Mike, have an awesome Sunday!
Outstanding brother!
Thanks for sharing! I will try it out. I really enjoy your videos. Great work.
Just such a great video from a shed!! Peace from a brother just down the road in Alton! ;)
Hello hello hello !!!! And a small shed at that!
Nice man, we all need pouches for ourselves or as gifts. Take care.
I need to make one of these. I have all the stuff and have been planning it just havn't made it yet. Might make a video of making mine too.
Cool stuff Mike. I could use one or two of those myself. Keep all my fire tools in a small one, one a bit bigger for tinder, and the other pouch. Would be cool to have on a belt also. Thanks again Mike!
That's a beauty of a shed my friend 👍
Totally Awesome stuff Mike thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸
Good video thought reminds me I'll need to make 1 as winter is just around the corner.
Great video. From Scotland.
Good stuff, and I just happen to have a box of wood shavings and a roll of birch bark looking for a home. My pack will have a pouch tomorrow.
Very nice and simple. Thank you.
I like this because you can open the pouch flat and your gear sits on a mat. Rather than emptying a bag on the ground.
Awesome video as always. Another good way of doing the circles like I do it a large round waiters tray. There perfect size and easy to just hold and Mark round. Atb john
Nice job mate!
Really nice! Good work
I'd like to know in which part of the UK you're building your bushcraft camp, because that forest seems to be very flat and all the trees are very straight. (I'm sorry for my very bad english but I love bushcraft and I am 14)
Thanks for the tutorial, Mike. I need to make a tinder pouch or two, but will try canvas for now. Keep up the good work!
Love your videos, really enjoy your content and your style. Keep it up! Also thanks for the tutorial, nice and simple.
Super video!!!
Awesome project. One suggestion if I may. Replace the rubber band for your birchbark with jute twine for yet another source of tinder, just a suggestion.
snakemonkey555 yep good idea!
love your vids. amazing effort put into them
Very interesting and informative thank you
If you make your holes a bit bigger to accommodate two strings of leather and feed one from each side it will close easier and tighter....
Thanks for the lesson my brother
great video now i can use up my old leather
Great video but where do you get the leather?
Gretings from ARGENTINA
Thanks Mike!
I'm going to try it....Thank you!
Thanks dude you are inspiring 🙂🤝
WOW that was super cool YOu could also make them into a big purse OR a tiny coin purse
Great idea thank you mike ! .
Wow!! Great video!
The Sagres logo in the back.. from Portugal, definitely you should try the nemesis Super Bock 😉
Cheers brother great vid!
would LOVE to have one of these!!
Will it have to be an even amount of holes around so the lace comes out the same side?
Nice job .
You may want to put a scrap of leather over the brass plate on the punch . Lets it stay sharper for longer
Thanks for the helpful how to & tips Mike
Deandre Pope no problem, happy to help where I can
Where did you get your saw and tarp? Love your videos by the way 👍🏻
Hello from Russia!)
Thank you bro
Good stuff!
Now this is better. haha How about a spoon carving video? but doing it without a curved spoon carving knife
Good job grettings for spain !
Nice. Where did you source the leather?
great stuff
hi
there is a style that looks like a pear fruit used to be for money/coins
if I remember correctly it's made from many pieces of leather
it has a circle as a base then there are long flat pieces sewn together
I hope that I described it correctly but it is so beautiful looking pouch/bag
I don't know if you know how to make it
if you do would kindly make a post teaching viewers how to cut and make
thank you
Good one
nice video, thank you!!:)
How long do you make the cord to cinch based on the diameter of the leather?
Are they water proof?
Great video! Love hand-crafted items.
*Reminds me: Did you ever make a video using the hand-crafted hobo hand line you got as a gift? I saw you discuss it in an old video but haven't seen a video of it in use.
good job
thanks for the vid :D
How many holes do you punch?
Amazing vids! I love them, can I ask, do you keep your Roof tent on top of your truck all then time, or put it on when your using it👍🏼🏴
I tend to take it off in the winter months. Helps to improve the fuel economy and puts less stress on the suspension etc
I'm a pipe smoker. I'd like to see how I might bring my pipes and tobacco with me on a camping trip. Any ideas for a good way to do that?
Tobacco pouches could be 'pursed' with a leather thong, secured by a slider.

👍😀🐾
This may be a silly question but do you treat your bags ?
Ronnie Tanner yes every few months
Great video Mike 👍 I've already made 2 from your other video 😁 but I have trouble in getting hold of leather 😢 love Shed Sunday ☺ & also 🌲TA outdoors🌲 & Friday's is 🦈TA fishing🦈 😁 👍
You could try making it out of something other than leather!
Andrew Linde have you tried ebay??
what was the size of the hole in the toggle?
What were the dimensions of your leather scrap?
When you'd drawn the circle (Or even before that) why didn't you change the size, could have easily got another inch or two all the way around on that bit of leather. Unfortunately I got a load of leather sheets offcuts a while ago with this in mind but I mistook inches for cm... Ended up with a whole stack of leather 15x15 cm lol
