Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard/read somewheres that the "possibles' bag is NOT the same as the shooting bag....the latter held the hunter/trappers ball, spare flints/caps, cleaning gear, patch, patch knife, ect. The possibles bag held other items such as playing cards, tobacco, flint & steel, maybe some trade silver, some sugar, tea, or salt, ect.

Those aren't possible bags the are modern Man Purse's.

....and they are not man purses; they are European shoulder bags (to borrow a line from the progressive insurance commercials)

......and if anyone wants to try making fun of my beaded shooting bag, all I can say is I need to try out my new scalping knife that I made.
