Here is what I'm currently using; a surplus Chinese RPD drum mag pouch. Paid $8 for it and it follows the fit and functions perfectly, but in no way the period.

Might fit right in, In a couple years if you know what I am referencing.

Making vs buying. Im always in favor of making. Having said that.
My horns and bag I did not make. Much better craftsmen than I made them.
My bag is an imported English flowler's bag.
Ive found that not have straps hanging all over you makes it easier to go thru the woods.
Id say get a kit, make it, and use it until something else tickles your fancy.

We know some of the old timers had home made bags. However colonial and federal America was not the wild lands of hardy loners we like to imagine. Most bags horns knifes, belt buckles, ect came from professional.
Even a log cabin in the woods was often built by companies of traveling carpenters and stone masons.
I take joy in making my own, but to be HC buying is the best option

Reminiscent of the pole barns going up around here being built by a traveling group of Amish that arrive in a van

To be historically correct, buying is the best option only if you are buying from a craftsman. Pretty much all of the mass produced bags for sale from retailers use materials and methods that are not historically correct.
