Waxed Canvas Firewood Log Carrier Tote With Leather Handles

The body is 16 ounce waxed canvas, which is the weight that shrugs off bark, dirt and damp rather than soaking it up. It is open at both ends, so logs load lengthways straight off the stack and slide out at the hearth without turning the bag upside down. Two thick cotton straps run the whole way around the body and become the handles, so the load hangs from the straps and not from the stitching, and the genuine leather handle wrap is 1.5 inches wide so a full load does not cut into your hand on the way in. Folded flat it stores in the gap beside the fireplace.

What you're getting

• Body is 16 ounce waxed canvas, water resistant and dirt proof
• Open at both ends, so logs load off the stack and slide out at the fire
• Two thick cotton straps run all the way around the body and form the handles
• Genuine leather handle wrap, 1.5 inches wide

Why we picked it

Carrying firewood by hand is a mess and usually three trips, and the third is the one where a log lands on the step. What makes this design work is that the straps wrap the whole body rather than being sewn to the top, so a full load pulls against the webbing instead of the stitching. Open ends sound like a detail until you have tried to tip a full bag out beside a lit fire.
