Read Heinnie Haynes Reviews

The Helikon-Tex Bushcraft Satchel is the perfect bag for your next bushcrafting trip.
Helikon-Tex have designed a shoulder bag, not too big, not too small and perfectly suited to its specified use. It has a wide YKK zippered main opening for easy access plus an abundance of Molle loops to add pouches and pockets when required. There are two side pockets for your favourite knife or folding saw and two "bottomless" pockets for an axe or other larger items.
Plus there is a front zippered pocket for smaller but equally vital bits and bobs. The strap is adjustable for high or low carry making it a very comfortable bag to use for a day trip or longer excursion.

I have taken this out quite a bit & it is fast becoming my favourite field bag. It's very comfortable to wear all day & all pockets etc a easily to hand without having to break stride- something you can't do with a rucksack.I particularly like that this can be rolled up into a stout tube about the size of a can of beans, which makes the bag Very useful as a day bag to be stuffed into your main rucksack or similar.Bag is quite waterproof , well made & will probably give several years of good service. Highly recommended.Superb service from Heinnie as always.

I bought this as a travel bag. It's big enough to be useful and small enough to be discrete, lightweight and rugged. I found a non slip shoulder strap pad which helped enormously.The internal pouches and zipped pocket, and external zipped pocket, give just enough organisation. Excellent.

Bought this satchel as a replacement work bag. Didn't realise the dimensions until received - specs were clear to see here on HH. It's quite big, bigger than I wanted. It seems tough, though maybe a bit thin? I have other Helikon Tex gear, and all products are high quality.Look at dimensions.HH great as ever.

Just arrived, seems great. Well made and light weight. Internal pouches for bottles really good feature. Good use of webbing for reinforcement and attachment. Arrived within 20 hours with free delivery; witchcraft!

Not really a bushcrafting bag, i was a little disappointed in the quality but for what it is, it's OK, you get what you pay for with this.

Seemed a bit extravagent buying this to carry my ferret about he's getting on a bit but still goes for a walk with the dog just needs carrying home so i was looking for something like this made from a tough material, he loves it couldn't wait to dive in and slept in there for a few hours plenty of room to move about hence the 5 star review, i was a little dissapointed my tablet didn't fit in the zipper bit but the side pockets inside are elasticated and it fits there so no problem, it's big enough for a ferret a tablet and a bluetooth speaker at the other end, i reckon i could get another ferret in there it's quite deep too,

Over the years I have spent so much money on bags. I have way too many, some never used. Being a Birder, and about to up take Fishing. I needed a bag mainly to put in a small spotting scope, bridge camera, food and water. Plus gas/small stove. Small fold up seating mat. I studied all of the reviews, looked at other brands. From that I got one. Without question, it is better than a rucksack, extremely well made. With my gear above, I even have space for a fleece and a little more. This bag won't let you down, it's light, and super strong where the strap meets the bag. More than happy, highly recommend. The surprising thing, with all of the above, the price is quite incredible. Value for money, and it will last. All the best Gerry

I've had one of these since they first came out, in stunning 'Coyote', er, brown sand. First off, yes they are single skin, no, they are note really 'waterproof' - at least not for North West Wales. But I have filled this bag to the brim, and it hasn't let me down yet. There's nothing on it that is just for show (except for the little logo), and no more than you need, in my opinion. Light and hard-wearing, I've no complaints. There are of course always more expensive, more tactical options out there but if you just want a handy good looking bag that's also kinda retro - this is the one for you. Comes in other colours than dirty sand, which is nice.
