Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just starting to explore the great outdoors, having reliable gear is crucial. Leather, known for its durability and timeless appeal, is an excellent material for creating outdoor essentials. Join us today in crafting these five projects that will be a staple in your outdoor gear for years to come!

The Explorer Kit Collection, these projects are pulled from, was designed for you to tailor your adventures. Mix and match attachments compatible with various pieces to suit your personal exploration needs! These smaller items serve to get you started and can be paired with other modular components from the rest of the line. All that said, let's get crafting!

PROJECT 1

The Explorer Fire Starter Kit is a Level 2 option that relies on basic skills like hand sewing and hardware setting.
