Let customers speak for us
I just got my new twill pouch and HOLLY SHIT IT IS AWESOME!
Both the design and the material!
I LOOOOOVE my grey but this is very close second. A perfect edition for pouches! Sturdy and gorgeous!
Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome gear I use it everyday and it makes me happy!
Stay awesome!
These bedroll straps are absolutely top-notch and work perfectly with my M3 Junior Backpack. On my other packs, I’m always fighting to secure bedrolls tightly, and by the time I break camp and repack, everything is loose and messy - never as tight and clean as when I started my tour. With the MM straps, it’s a whole other story. Once they’re on, nothing moves. They’re rock solid, ride perfectly secure, and the best part? It’s super easy to attach and take off your bedroll. They are sturdy, simple, and they just work!!!
If you are here, then you already appreciate the best handmade MIUS gear that you can buy. With that said, I own over 100 bags from Goruck, Brown Buffalo, Dan Matsuda, Trakke, Frost River, Saddleback Leather. I have many of the Carryology collabs as well.
I can tell you without any doubt, that this is one of the finest EDC / outdoor bags that you will ever own. The craftsmanship is top notch and the materials are just as impressive. I carried this bag to the office for over a month and got compliments and questions about it every time. (Forest green and chestnut leather with natural hardwood and I added the inside pocket.) the web site pics don’t do it justice. This bag pops and not in that bad “Indiana Jones office guy” way. This bag is subtle enough to make you look and feel comfortable and professional. Unlike that guy next to you on the elevator with the overstuffed Walmart Jansport. He will be buying a new bag in 6 months when those zippers blow out while you will be rotating.
Now let’s talk about the size. It’s rated at 18 liters but like a Trakke, it holds much more than you imagine 18 liters will. It’s big enough to hold the following items with easy. 16” laptop, Cap 2, 3 Nutsac pouched from large to small, Garage Built Gear pouch, Magpull glasses case, Glock 43 in holster, Zulu 26oz water bottle, American Giant heavyweight hoodie, baseball cap, key, wallet, phone, sunglasses and other misc small items in the front on interior pocket. (Do yourself a favor and add that extra interior pocket. You will be glad you did.)
How’s the weight? Fully packed out, this bag is no more heavy than any other pack of similar quality with the exception of Saddleback Leather bags. They weight more due to them being leather. Honestly, no bag fully packed out will be super lightweight regardless of the materials.
The materials. The bridle leather is beautiful and breaks in nicely after a few weeks of use and I did not notice any fatigue or discomfort. The waxed canvas is thick and feels substantial in hand. Not all thin and floppy like a Journeymen. There are no exterior zippers so no need to worry about that. The buckles do not jingle around when you are moving, even when loosely buckled and one of my personal pet peeves is addressed here. When properly packed out, This bag sits flat! It will not fall on its face like 99% of other bags.
In conclusion, from packaging to product, The Meandering Maker is one of the best kept secrets right now and I would suggest you get yours now before you see his work on JB Outdoors or George Defined and the lead time turn into 12 months like Bexar Goods.
So congratulations on your first purchase and I’ll see you out there! 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a lot of backpacks at home - but this one here is something else!
Rright from the unboxing, I was really impressed with the quality. I’ve watched almost all the YouTube videos about MM’s packs, but seeing and touching it in person is a whole different experience. The level of thought and detail that went into this pack is immediately obvious. You can tell it’s designed to be both practical and comfortable, with clever solutions everywhere you look.
For example, one side pocket has a space behind it that’s open all the way through, making it easy to slide in something larger like a paddle or bow, while the other side pocket is closed to hold shorter items securely. Additionally, the two large outside pockets each have smaller pockets on their exterior, which are perfect for storing smaller items and keeping them within easy reach. You can really tell how much care and attention went into this pack -it’s like everything has a purpose and works together perfectly :)
I was a little worried I’d miss having a hip belt since I’m so used to using one, but the pack sits high on the back, and the shoulder straps are so comfortable that I honestly don’t feel like I need one!!
I took the M3 Junior out for a 1.5-hour walk this morning with around 16 kilos (35 pounds) in it, and it was really comfortable! I used a little folding mat (the German BW Faltisomatte) at the back of the backpack, just like MM suggested in one of the videos, and it worked perfectly.
One of the things I really like about this pack is the flexibility to sort of build your own inner frame to suit your needs. For me, the folding mat works super well and adds just the right amount of structure and support.
Overall, I’m really happy with the M3 Junior. I’ll write another review after I’ve used it for a few months, but first impressions are excellent.
One thing is for sure - this pack is made to last. I can already tell it’s going to outlive me, and I’ll be able to pass it down to my future kid, Bushcraftsman Junior :D

I've bought a few packs, bags and slings from Meandering Maker. They are always top notch, his work is second to none. In today's age of disposable items, Meandering Maker's work will out live all of us and probably our grandchildren. Thanks Guy for making a product that stands up to the abuse and test of time.

Super tough. Build quality is on par with American made products made with pride. Super functional and built to last. Would definitely recommend to any backpacker. Thanks so much.
I have a gen 1 haversack that I've owned for years and it worked well. Excellent craftsmanship too as expected.
I was so excited when the gen 2 haversack was finally available for sale. I couldn't wait to grab one. It is a game changer!
It's a little larger than gen 1 and much more usable for my edc needs. It's great being able to use the internal pocket for my phone, and there's plenty of room for other items I carry every day. And of course, craftsmanship is top notch!
The haversack is well thought out in construction and very neat.
It is solid and, to my preference, features varied attachment points. Can’t wait for a trip to load it up. It is already receiving implements for outdoor use.
And it’s fun!!!!!!
Thank so much.
This duffle is the perfect size to pair with a backpack for a weekend trip. Or use it at the gym! Not too big, not too small. And the attention to detail is typical Meandering Maker: AMAZING!
This bag meets and exceeds my expectations! The craftsmanship is at the highest standards!! Take the plunge and get one of these!! You will never be sorry!
If you are looking for a well made heirloom quality product look no further! This bag is as beautiful as it is functional. Don't let the price point dissuade you! You will proudly carry♥ this FOREVER!
Reporting in that I love my MM haversack as a do it all smaller EDC bag.
It punches above its weight on what it can carry too with its overall design and ability for straps on the bottom on the bag.
It was icing on the cake that I could customize the colors/leather/brass to match my M3J pack too! I am excited to keep putting this bag through its paces and I feel privileged to own it and love using it.
