journeyman handcraft. England.

Most outdoor gear is made to be replaced. Synthetic, sealed, and disposable — built for a season, not a lifetime.

Journeyman Handcraft is the work of Brian Trubshaw, who makes bushcraft and camping gear from leather and waxed canvas in the Heart of England.

It began as a hobby and became a small family operation — Brian and his mother Carol at the bench, his partner Emily on everything else. What started as friends asking him to make things became a workshop.

Belts, rucksacks, pouches, and ground covers, built from materials that age rather than perish. The kind of gear you hand down, not throw out.
