The Bison Gear haversack is NOT the same item as the Asbell haversack. Both great bags but not the same. Maybe GFA means something different on the BG site. It is confusing.

LA is correct.  It is not the same bag.... It is, however, despite the significant price difference, a very good and versitile piece of equipment (as all Bison Gear is).

Thanks for the clarification. I could not find a photo of the Bison one. Do you own or have a photo of the one they are selling? Thanks again.

for clarification, it is hanging by a grab strap.  Shoulder strap is hanging below, and lash point straps are also shown.... pocket on each side, and 2 main compartments.  Has a few slots inside it, and if I remember correctly, another zippered pocket inside (maybe just flapped).

I got my haversack from Teresa yesterday--wow, I'm impressed with the design.  Two large interior pockets and two small ones. I had not expected that many pockets.  Well made and plenty roomy.  You can't beat that lady's work  :thumbsup: .

The Bison Gear haversack was originally designed by Angelo for John Turner (American Leathers) as a lion hunting/dog tracking pack.  When he showed the pack to G. Fred, G. Fred was using it and made some recommendations about modifying the pack.  Angelo made those changes and now has two options...The Houndsman pack and the GFA pack.    Since that time,  G. Fred and Teresa started their own haversack line, but Angelo still keeps the GFA name on his pack.

both haversacks are very well made, just different for different uses...
