Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

[speedy611]

Sunday afternoon in my garage / shop. Wood turning. Alaskan guide, lightweight vest and Filson wool cap (which I love).

I'm amazed that I haven't stumbled into this thread before. My addiction is full-blown, so it's nice to find like minded addicts.

Here's a photo from a couple years back when we took the boy camping in Iceland for a couple weeks.

Gzstudio,
Do you sell theses bags ? Especially the "Vans one ?

Don't you dare make an offer on that bag until I have a chance !

Speedy, I had a wool watch cap and loved it. In a cigar and alcohol induced fit of kindness I gave it away one cold night. I've always wished I had it back. Now I rock the smokey beanie and it's just not the same.

My friend, that is what loose living does to you ;-). But I bet you have a grateful guy out there somewhere. Karma...
I am very pleased with the warmth and comfort. Once again, Filson know how to do wool right.

Would you guys buy a new rucksack for $185? Does it carry well?

I think mine was around that much. It does carry a heavy when it is packed to the brim. That's how I usually have it when I am traveling.

Any fans of the author William Gibson? He’s sci-fi, most famous for coining the term cyberspace. He’s long been associated with the edgy and emerging and captures the zeitgeist well.

In his new book “Agency” there is a character in San Francisco where...

Speedy! Can you make a basic 11 or 12 inch dinner plate? I've been toying with the idea of moving from ceramic to wood for dinnerware.

Raided my local Filson store this morning...

Never shucked an oyster before, but darnit, now that I have a knife, I bought a quarter-dozen on the way home.

Is a quarter dozen 3? Lol

 

[nevadabob]

Yeah, three. I thought quarter dozen would make it sound like I knew what I was doing. Talk about your all time backfire.

You already had me impressed with your excitement over the oyster shucker. I was like “oh man he must be a veteran that goes out and gathers his own oysters! Maybe he’ll show me the ropes in the PNW someday!” Haha.

Hope you enjoy it! I do love oysters.

Hey guys, I got a Filson Weatherproof Leather Original Briefcase in Sierra Brown as a gift and want to sell it because I rather spend this kind of money on a vacation. I usually just sell old electronics on ebay so I put it for sale there a week ago. I feel like ebay has the wrong audience for selling brand new >1k BIFL briefcases since it hasn't been sold and I already reduced it by over 400€. Does anybody know where there is a good place to sell a brand new Filson bag as a private seller? Most people that want a brand new one probably just go to Filsons own online shop. Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: I am talking about this one.

Well, if a bakers dozen isn’t actually 12 items then a fisherman’s dozen might also be different!

@nevadabob -my lathe is quite small, maximum diameter I can do is about 10”.
