While spraying, remove your sleeves from overall over the gloves. Use this spraying technique to spray crops, under 50 cm tall, for example: young tomato plants cotton sorghum potatoes sweet potatoes rice maize wheat barley oats soybeans cassava and sugar beet. Here is an explanation on the basics of using knapsack sprayer so that you can choose the right technique for your current spraying task. They come to you fully complete and ready to take out of the box, load and take into the field.Are you going to spray herbicides, pesticides etc on smaller or taller plants? Do your plants grow in rows or in beds, or do they cover the entire farmland? Do you need to spray downwards, sideways or upwards? Or are you just spraying some plants? Our bags come complete with Blanket Roll Straps and J-Hooks. We don't try to fool you by pricing our bag lower by leaving necessary things off and making you buy them separately. It is STILL being used to this day by its original buyer.
Our bags can provide the owner with years of service if properly cared for.īelow the photos of the new Double Bag Knapsack you can view photos of one of our bags that is over 35 years old that we repaired a few years ago for the owner. All our hardware is faithfully reproduced in correct wire gauge and finish. You will see this reproduced in wonderful detail in our reproduction because it is not clumsily imitated by hand but, actually sewn on an original machine. If you have ever inspected the interior of one of these original knapsacks, you will remember the profusion of black linen thread that was used to chain stitch all the straps in place. The leather shoulder straps have correctly scalloped ends, and the brass studs are covered with leather washers to prevent scratching the stock of the musket. Made from imported linen canvas with correct hand flat-felled seams and painted after construction for better waterproofing. This is our absolutely historically correct copy of the war-time issue double bag knapsack. The major centers of production were New York City, New York, (Which produced more than half the total number produced.) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Newark, New Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware. Contract prices averaged $2.00 per knapsack. An article from the New York Sun, reprinted in the FebruScientific American (page 67) discloses that 200,000 contract knapsacks were delivered in January 1862 alone and in the eight months previous 700,000 were delivered. Apparently their use was fairly common in the early months of the war, gradually being phased out. The issuance and use of these non-standard packs, (often seen with wooden frames) is likely the result of state contract and issue. So, why is there an "Early War" Double Bag Knapsack?
For those who wish to have a frame we make and sell a frame that fits inside our Early War Double Bag Knapsacks. It was sometimes used with a wooden frame inside the knapsack. The knapsack comes with two overcoat straps. It closes with cotton herringbone twill tape ties. This knapsack has a smaller V-pocket than the later design. All the buckles and hooks are direct copies of originals. The shoulder straps are cut square, and the rivited brass studs are left exposed. All leather strapping is sewn into place per our original specimen with one of our original 19th century chain stitch machines. Edges are folded and machine top stitched. Based upon the original in our collection, it contains all the features common to the knapsacks in use before 1862.Įach seam is welted with a folded piece of oil cloth, machine sewn and then hand serged like the original. We are pleased to offer this early design correctly machine sewn of cotton oil cloth. These were probably produced for issue by various state authorities until the federal government could begin supplying knapsacks. The early war double bag knapsack bears a superficial resemblance to the U.
