Yagdtash - what is this? How to make yagdtash with your own hands

Hunting, as connoisseurs say, is a special kind of hobby. Unprepared and unreasoned, it can not be. This is not a campaign for mushroom-berries, this is a serious man's occupation. Any hunter will say that important details are not only quality guns, which will not fail at the crucial moment. Considerable are the various hunting attributes, one of which is yagdtash. This is a special bag designed exclusively for hunters.

Indispensable thing

An experienced hunter knows that a quality and comfortable yagdtash is a thing whose benefits have been tested for years. He carries in it not only game or cartridges, but also documents, a hunting knife and other useful things that should always be at hand. In order to add to the list of hunters, you should know exactly how to choose a quality yagdtash, how to make it with your own hands if necessary. In all these issues, and we will deal with today.

A bit of history

It is not a secret to anyone that hunting has long been an important trade for humans. Centuries ago our ancestors carried the caught game into pieces of animal skin, thrown over his shoulder. This was the first game for hunting. Humanity developed, and the appearance of the hunting bag changed.

Over time, hunters began to understand that in the bag you can put not only game, but also many small things that can be irreplaceable at certain moments. Bag yagdtash became more thoughtful, compact and versatile. Cartridges, matches, permission for weapons, personal documents, food and water, a compass, hunting trophies - everything fits in this bag.

Evolution supplemented the yagdtash with a special loop for carrying the bird, which is called a whip. These loops are on the sides of the bag, a bird's head clings to them. There are options when the whip is located behind, on the straps of the bag. Experienced hunters say that this is the most convenient option, as carcasses do not interfere with walking and do not beat on the legs.

Leather bags

Leather yagdtash is a tradition that has passed through the years. Most often, pork or veal leather is used for production. Leather products are durable and are of high quality. In addition, leather options allow you to maximally correctly emphasize the social status of the hunter. Leather yagdtash is suitable for almost any suit and shoes, combined with any color and style.

A very unusual option - a hunting yagdtash of leather with fur inserts. Manufacturers offer today the most diverse models of leather bags, complemented by fur from light brown to hot-black. There are models where for the decor we use interlacing of leather bands of different shades. There are a lot of variations. Even the most capricious and demanding hunter will find his bag.

Synthetic bags

Along with leather are popular and synthetic bags for hunters. They are no less durable than leather products, but are much cheaper than, of course, attract buyers. They do not get wet, they are compact and compact. And if yagdtash leather can never be made in the color of khaki, then its synthetic "brethren" in such coloring are actively flaunting on the shelves of stores. By color and design solutions synthetic bags are much more diverse than leather.

What is made of leather yagdtash

Packing is an important part of any bag. Hunting yagdtash - this is also not an exception to the rules. The two main components of any product - a hatching net for game and a roomy inner compartment. To the bag is attached from five to ten rings, on which the caught prey is fixed.

There are models that consist of two large departments. One of them is equipped with stitched cells after a certain distance. In them hunters keep cartridges. The cells are arranged in one or two rows. They are intended for storage of cartridges with caliber from 12th to 16th.

Completion of synthetic bags for hunting

As already mentioned, synthetic versions of bags for hunters are diverse. But not only on the color and texture of fabrics, but also on the bundle. In addition, synthetic yagdtash (photo attached) is much more spacious than a leather analogue. The compartments of the bag can be closed on one common Velcro. There are options where each department has an individual metal buckle.

Depending on the size of the bag itself, the number of cells for storing cartridges varies. They can fit from six to twenty. Many synthetic bags are also equipped with hidden waterproof pockets. As a rule, they contain matches or documents.

Synthetics has one significant advantage over the skin. When wet synthetic yagdtash will not be so heavy and uncomfortable.

Price and quality

Most often, hunters who decide to buy themselves a new yagdtash, are repelled when choosing from the cost. At once I would like to say that in this choice there will be pitfalls. For example, a low price in most cases means insufficiently high quality of the product. And to neglect quality in such business, as purchase of a hunting bag, it is impossible.

Of course, synthetic products are much cheaper than their "counterparts" made of genuine leather. For example, a calfskin yaghtash will cost the hunter 100-150 dollars. Slightly cheaper will cost a piece of pigskin - from 70 to 85 dollars.

Experienced hunters are advised never to save on such a purchase. Yagdtash must be strong and reliable, well-sewn and with quality fittings that will not let you down. Buying it in the store, carefully inspect all the seams, they should be even, without sticking threads. Pay attention to any small things: fasteners and hooks, Velcro, buttons, zippers, carabiners for attaching handles, game rings, mesh, etc.

Quality yagdtash will be unpretentious in the care, do not get wet in the rain and suffer all the hardships of a difficult male hobby.

Yagdtash own hands

If the price policy of the store for hunters does not suit you and does not find a comfortable, roomy, high-quality and inexpensive option, you can always make yagdtash yourself. To make it you will need: a material (this can be both synthetic fabric and genuine leather), an elastic band with a width of fifty millimeters, several game rings (homemade or finished loops), scissors, threads and a sewing machine.

Description of work

To begin with, as with any sewing, a pattern is made. It can be made from a thick cardboard or a regular newspaper. The sizes are selected individually. Everything will depend on how you imagine a bag for hunting. Three patterns are made: a sidewall, a central part and a folding pocket.

Experts advise in advance to think what will be your bag-yagdtash, how many cartridges it will need to carry, what is the depth of the general department, how many additional internal pockets, and so on.

The cartridge belt is made of a wide elastic band, which is sewn to a strip of fabric and then is spread in several places. How many stretch strips on the elastic band, there will be as many cartridges for cartridges. For example, for eight rounds a material of about 60-65 centimeters long will be required. The distance between the departments is two to three centimeters.

The front of the bag. We draw with chalk three future seams on the central blank. If you have leather, then draw on the wrong side, if synthetics - plashevka, you can and on the front side, and then you can erase the picture with a damp sponge. At the front, we make markings where the cartridge belt will be sewn in the future. Nearby it is necessary to note a place where loops for transfer of game will be fastened. We mark the places where additional pockets will be located. It remains only to sew and stitch several times to give the product a fortress.

Fasteners can be completely different. Most often used for the manufacture of hunting bags are ready-made Velcro. They are sold in any needlework shop. The lining is made using the same patterns as the base. Sew the details, sew an internal secret pocket for documents.

Now it remains to connect the inner and outer parts. Remember that when sewing the wrong side and transfer, do not forget to sew the ends of the handles inside. Sewing produce, attaching the wrong side to the wrong side. After the product is ready, it remains only to unscrew the bag.

Time to manufacture the bag takes an average of two or three days. And this, as experts say, taking into account the trips to the shops in search of fittings and threads, which ended at an unnecessary moment. So if there is a desire to do something personal, individual and at the same time save, then arm yourself, head and fantasy.
