Here is another thread on the same subject. There is some interesting info on curing new bags. Also, check out the last post from me with a link to some interesting history on how they were used in logging.

That bag looks almost new. In fact it probably IS new... They're still available from the original maker:

Minimum order of 2 bags.............anyone want to split an order? ($60 each w/shipping)

I'd like one, but don't really need two right now.

The curing on the other thread came from my Dad..... He used to fill a wash tub with hot water..... Pour some sugar in the bag and in the tub and let them soak for a few days. Wish I had asked at the time why the
sugar..... But he was a farmer and a mechanic..... so for the two bags I just ordered a few days ago I will try it that way. I will post once I have them and have cured them.
