I'm working on my kit for trekking. My time period is 1800-1815 when David Thompson discovered and travelled through the Howse Pass. My current stomping ground. What would have been reasonably PC? would it have been just some type of leather pouch, or heavy canvas? Not waterproof for sure but an oiled pouch in a haversack might be? Thoughts?

Since he would have been outfitted by Hudson's Bay or Northwest Company, I don't remember who, research what they were offering as Trade Goods for that purpose. Probably some type of metal container carried in a leather pouch. He probably carried more than one.

Metal containers were available at the time, but leather would have been more common.
