The Pocatello Possibles Pouch
Down in Southeast Idaho, about 160 miles north of Salt Lake City, where the Portneuf Valley empties into the Snake River Plain, sits the town of Pocatello. The seat of Bannock County, it’s most famous for its potato products. In fact, you could call it the Potato Chip Capital of the World. But it wasn’t always so. Less than two centuries ago, this was a wild and untamed land. Not a potato farm in site. While various indigenous peoples lived in the area for centuries, it was the reports about the territory by Lewis & Clark that brought the first Europeans. Mountain men mostly. Fur trappers. Rugged individuals who chose to live outside of society. They carried what they needed with them. They had to. No Wal-Mart around the corner back then. One of the things they always had was a "possibles" pouch - small bag that contained the little things they might possibly need in the wilderness. This is my modern take on that old idea.
The Pocatello Possibles Pouch. The perfect size for coins and cash, or earbuds. Or thumb drives. Or leads for your mechanical pencil. Or batteries. All the little things you might possibly need out in the corporate wilderness. In several colors, plain or hand-tooled.
