In the 18th and 19th centuries, mountain men, minutemen, frontiersmen, and black powder hunters of all kinds would usually be found with two essential items slung across their shoulders: their powder horn and their “possibles bag.” It was named this because it contained everything you might possibly need for the day. As you might expect, while the contents could be expected to reflect all the needs someone using a muzzleloading rifle, those contents of a man’s possibles bag varied by taste and necessity.

Items Found in a Possibles Bag

Most typically, the frontiersman’s possibles bag was stocked with all kinds of essentials for hunting, fighting, and venturing throughout the frontier: pipe and tobacco, tin cup, flints, jerky and other edibles, a patch knife and skinning knife, nipple wrenches, picks and other tools for one’s muzzleloader. Inside the possibles bag you might also find other small leather pouches, such as a “strike-a-light” pouch, which held a fire striker and tinder. Possibles bags were either slung over the shoulder or attached to a belt.
