Recycled Waders ‘Nook Sack
Where do waders go when they grow old? To Seattle, it seems. Manufactured out west, they are “de-constructed” and turned into a handsome sack. Not too big at 11x7x3, this durable sack could hold a basic fishing kit nicely. The heavy duty straps would clip easily to a pack. Two pockets, one exterior and one interior, are roomy enough for small items. For the non-fishing person, this might be just the perfect, dependable, daypack.
