The Rule:  Nothing will be purchased until we try to make it from yak hide.

Tough

Nick should be able to run it over with the tractor and drag it behind the truck.  Foraging with this bag will be dreamy.

Useful

The bag stays open naturally, allowing both hands-free use and no worries about crushed mushrooms.    The straps are adjustable to fit the user.    Nick wanted the length set so his hands would touch the bottom of the bag.  The bags will also be used to collect our experiments with staple crops such as wheat and dent corn.    

Made from Waste

The "All-Yak forage bag" is one example art from the byproducts of harvesting yaks for meat. The goal of making an all-yak bag is to use all parts of the animal and minimize our purchases from large corporations. Every component is made from yak hide with no thread or other purchased items.
