It’s got to be a lovely colour, James. Do you condition your bags, or is the oils and things from general use enough?

[@JamesCrane]

Yes, thank you Teik, with the leathers that are not "hot-stuffed" with oils and greases, I will condition those pieces prior to the wet season. On bags that are hot-stuffed such as most Horween Leathers, and others, there is really little need to condition them, unless of course one is compulsive about it. Conditioning premium leathers won't really hurt them, but if it is to be done, it should be done sparingly. Footwear I would think one would want to treat, especially to keep them clean and dry, but you would know more about that then I Sir. Love your channel! www.youtube.com/@Bootlosophy

@@JamesCrane I think footwear is different because they are “worn” and hence few sweaty, step into things etc. but good to get your take on bags!

I could hear the name of the backwoods individual with the quote on the patch. If you could reply with the the name, it would be appreciated.

[@JamesCrane]

Horace Kephart, he wrote “Camping” and “Woodcraft” and both books are available in one volume. I purchased a vintage volume on EBay, but his books are available from most booksellers.
