    My neighbour Gord , owner of TrapperGord trapping and outdoor supplies over in Alberta Canada , makes a few of these birch slat woven Pack baskets every few years.

    I was lucky to score a large one this year!

    lightweight, loads of cargo space , hugs the upper body / back with zero hard spots

    I’ll be brushing linseed oil on mine tomorrow

    I figure I could fit 3 x 15 can boxes of Reebs , plus room for a bunch of singles in this pack

    Without your traditional beer can for scale. I'm just not sure how big this is.

    Ours were similar in shape but not as tall, and generally had a single shoulder strap like a messenger bag. All kinds of pickable produce as well as wild berries and forage. ( I started using mine for a game bag too. The staining from animal fluids made my mother quite unhappy. ;). )

    when I go grocery shopping here, we are banned from using shopping bags. The stores charge 25 to 50 cents for a paper bag, which fails by the time you walk out the door, esp in rain.
    Normally I grab empty cardboard boxes to carry my groceries, but they end up piling up in my apt because the cardboard recycling bin is full 100% of the time due to Amazon boxes .

    so I end up having 100 plus boxes in my apt every month

    hence the easy to use / load/ carry pack basket
