During my recent adventure to Stewart Falls, I realized that the thing that annoys me the most during hiking is having to hold my water bottle. I normally don’t carry a backpack that has water bottle pockets and if I do, I’m not really able to pull my water bottle out of that pocket without stopping to retrieve it which I would rather not do.
My solution? Leather belt clasp! No more stopping on the trail.
I have wanted to get into leatherworking for a bit and needed a small project to test with; this was perfect!
The button is a little too lightweight for the heavy water bottle so I’ll need to get a bigger one or make another with space for two buttons. Next I want to try a small satchel and eventually a leather book cover!
