I’d known him a few years. We always met on neutral ground, so to speak. Then he up and called one day to say, “I want you to see a place I love. It's about a 2-hour drive from Denver International, rugged canyon land littered with corn circles, irrigation pivots, angus, yuccas, and rattlesnakes. I’ve got relatives there for lodging. We can fix some fence or work some cattle or just ride four-wheelers and shoot guns for a weekend. Just throw what you can in that bag I’ve seen you carry, and c’mon.” I trust this man, he’s my friend. So I said, “Deal.”

Our Dakota Waxed Canvas Weekend Bag is the bag he’d seen me carry. It is more than up to the challenge of such weekends close to the land. The top grain leather and waxed canvas construction will stand up to yuccas, maybe even rattlesnakes. And the copper rivets, black vintage hardware, and leather handles combine to impress even the relatives. The only thing left for you to do is throw in what you can, and go. The Dakota Waxed Canvas Weekend Bag. Grab it and head to those places we love.
